The Sacred Books of Chaldea

This fifth extract from Sayce"s Origin and Growth of Religion, the topic turns to the "sacred books" of the Babylonians. Beginning with the "Chaldean Rig-Veda," collections of hymns identified from the earliest days of Assyriology, Sayce also considers the earlier, less developed magical texts. Future considerations - sin, the status of heaven and Hades, and cosmology finish out the essay. Это и многое другое вы найдете в книге The Sacred Books of Chaldea
