by Albert T. Clay

Book Overview

""Neo-Babylonian Letters From Erech"" is a historical book written by Albert Tobias Clay and published in 1919. The book is a collection of translated letters from the Neo-Babylonian era, specifically from the city of Erech (modern-day Warka, Iraq). The letters are written in cuneiform script and were discovered during archaeological excavations in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The letters provide insight into the daily life, trade, and politics of the Neo-Babylonian period, which lasted from 626-539 BCE. Clay's translation and analysis of the letters offer a glimpse into the social and economic structures of the time, as well as the relationships between the different city-states of Mesopotamia. The book is a valuable resource for historians, archaeologists, and anyone interested in ancient Mesopotamia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
