A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

A nd, indeed, on the Continent my book has every Avhere met with the kindest appreciation. I wish to record my thanks and appreciation of the letters which I have received from many of the most distinguished scholars in regard to my former book. A mong these have been: Professor C. H. W. Johns of Cambridge, Professors D. S. A largoliouth and S. R. Driver of Oxford, Dr. E. A. Wallis Budge of the British Museum, Professor xd. Erman of Berlin, Professor Fritz Hommel of Munich, Professor P. Rost of Konigsberg (P r.), Professor J. A. Knudtzon of Christiania, Professor Ernst Andersson of Upsala, Professor Knut Tallqvist of Helsingfors. Professor Le P. Ronzevalle of Beyrouth, M. F. Thureau-D angin, of Paris, and Professor C. Fossey of the College de France. I am especially grateful to those of this number who have offered me their suggestions. Many of my conclusions, which seemed astonishing at the time of publication, have now been generally accepted by the scholarly world. I do not mean to imply that it was entirely because of my book that these conclusions have been reached. I only state that scholars have reached the same results. It is some gratification to feel, however, that I was first in the field. For example, the date for Sargon of A kkad, which I placed ca. 2550 b. c, has since been placed by Eduard IM cyer at the same date. The eminent A ssyriologist, I. Thureau-D angin, has not only given, the same date for the Hammurabi Dynasty as I did, but has also shown that there was a lacuna between this and the Kassite Dynasty, and that I sphinx, Vol. XII, p. 249.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
