Ancient Babylonia

Originally published during the early part of the twentieth century, the Cambridge Manuals of Science and Literature were designed to provide concise introductions to a broad range of topics. They were written by experts for the general reader and combined a comprehensive approach to knowledge with an emphasis on accessibility. Ancient Babylonia by C. H. W. Johns was first published in 1913. The text presents an account of Babylonian history, from the early rulers through to the Neo-Babylonian period. Discussion of key historical sources and the geography of the region is also included.
