The Legacy of Mesopotamia

by David Pingree, Stephanie Dalley, A. T. Reyes

Book Overview

This collection explores the spread of culture through literacy from Mesopotamia into Egypt, Palestine and Greece after a system of writing was developed. By gathering evidence from a vast range of material and literary sources from 3000 BC onwards, threads of influence and continuity are
traced into the Middle Ages. The effect of recent rediscovery on European art is also explored.
