The Cuneiform Inscriptions and the Old Testament, Vol. 2: Translated From the Second Enlarged German Edition (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Cuneiform Inscriptions and the Old Testament, Vol. 2: Translated From the Second Enlarged German EditionI have once more the pleasure of acknowledging the ever ready and helpful kindness Of Prof. Schrader in pre~ paring this volume for the press. The English edition is enriched by his own recent brilliant combinations on the field Of early Babylonian History whereby he arrives at the identification of the Biblical Amraphel with king Hammu rabi. A translation of an important Excursus in his own monograph, read before the Royal Academy of Sciences at Berlin, will be found in the Notes and Addenda at the close of this volume. Dr. Schrader has moreover added valuable Appendices on Assyriological literature as well as On the Moods and Tenses of the Assyrian verb. This edition also owes much to Mr. Pinches of the British Museum whose great erudition and ready command of cuneiform literature are at the service Of every inquirer. My indebtedness to him has been duly notified in each case.A word of grateful acknowledgment is due for the kindly welcome accorded to the first volume. Among the nume rous friendly notices I would especially mention the long and able review signed 'e', which appeared in the 'expositor'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
