The Legacy of Mesopotamia cover

Stephanie Dalley 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 rediscovery in recent times is evident in European art.

The topic of this book is extremely worthwhile. * Karen Radner, Archiv fur Orientforschung *
