Researches Into the Origin of the Primitive Constellations of the Greeks, Phoenicians and Babylonians, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Researches Into the Origin of the Primitive Constellations of the Greeks, Phoenicians and Babylonians, Vol. 1In a work like the present, addressed to general readers, it is quite unnecessary to use diacritical marks; nor.

Qoph-sound is better rendered by q than by k.The conclusions at which I have arrived represent the results of a study extending over many years. And my special thanks are due to Prof. Sayce and to Mr. T. G. Pinches for much assistance most freely given; whilst, at the same time, I am alone responsible for the statements, theories, and arguments of the' work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
