Excerpt from The Monuments and the Old Testament: Evidence From Ancient Records The author has laid under tribute to this work the best available sources. These are amply named in the list of Books for Further Study, in Texts Quoted (pp. 315 ft), and occasionally in the body of the book. Familiarity with the original texts of the cuneiform inscriptions was of especial value in that part of the work treating of the light from those sources.
