GODS, DEMONS & SYMBOLS, ANCIENT MESOPOTAMIA

This book is available NOW to order

Ancient Mesopotamia was a rich, varied and highly complex culture, whose achievements included the invention of writing and the development of sophisticated urban societies. This book offers an introductory guide to the beliefs and practices of the ancient Mesopotamians, as revealed in their art and their writings between about 3000 BC and the advent of the Christian era.

Jeremy Black, Anthony Green, Illustrated by Tessa Rickards

From the editor : Gods, goddesses, demons, monsters, magic, myths, religious symbolism, ritual and the spiritual world are all discussed in alphabetical entries ranging from short accounts to extended essays. Names are given in both their Sumerian and Akkadian forms, and all entries are fully cross-referred. A useful introduction provides historical and geographical background and describes the sources of our knowledge about religion, mythology and magic of the `cradle of civilization'.

Dr Jeremy Black is a Fellow of Wolfson College, Oxford and University Lecturer in Akkadian. He has written several studies on Sumerian and Babylonian literature, and heads the Electronic Text Corpus of Sumerian Literature project.

Dr Anthony Green is currently Shinji Shumeikai Senior Academic Research Fellow in Near Eastern Art and Archaeology at the Freie Universitat Berlin. He has excavated extensively in Syria and Iraq and writes on ancient Mesopotamian art and archaeology.

Tessa Rickards is a freelance archaeological illustrator specializing in ancient Mesopotamia.
