This is a treasury of esoteric writing concerning the prayers & rituals to ancient deities from the dawn of Western civilization.
The author, an expert in the field of Babylonian & Assyrian translations, presents a series of texts from tablets uncovered during archaeological excavations at Ninevah.
Included are 76 illustrations of cuneiform tablets, Kings transliteration & translation of the inscriptions, & appendices with a Hebrew-Babylonian-English glossary, a list of proper names, & a list of numerals.
When first published in 1896, recognition of this remarkable work was largely eclipsed by the popularity & profusion of newly discovered Egyptian magical texts.
However, as R.A. Gilbert points out in a new Forward for this edition, the evolution of the Western Mystery Tradition actually owes more to Babylonian & Assyrian magical traditions than to anything assimilated from Egyptian sources.
Therefore, this becomes a very significant text for the people interested in the origins of Western religious practices & the Western Mystery Tradition.
