|  | Drower's Folk-Tales of Iraq by Jorunn Buckley
A collection of folktales from Iraq, dating from the 1930s, found in the archives of the famous English Lady E. S. Drower (1879-1972), who was novelist, folklorist, specialist on the Mandaeans, and writer of travel accounts. New tales edited by Jorunn Buckley form a second volume of Drower’s Folktales. The stories—carrying recognizable Near Eastern folk-tale features—feature monsters and heroes, maidens and fairies and they give a vivid picture of a now extinct oral folktale tradition.

| Title: | The Religion of Babylonia and Assyria, Especially in its Relations to Israel | | Subtitle: | Five Lectures Delivered at Harvard University | | Publisher: | Gorgias Press LLC | | Publication Date: | 5/2008 | | From the 1908 edition | | Availability: | In Print | | ISBN: | 978-1-59333-614-1 | | Format: | Hardback, 6 x 9 in | | Volumes: | 1 | | Pages: | xiv + 235 | | Illustrations: | 26 |
Originally a series of five lectures delivered at Harvard University, this book is an early attempt to tackle a formidable subject: the religion of ancient Iraq, or Mesopotamia. Rogers’s rare work begins with a summary of the rediscovery of the religions of Babylonia and Assyria. The divine world of these ancient empires is uncovered through an exploration of their gods and cosmologies. The ancient Akkadian culture is well known for its collection of sacred texts in the form of clay tablets. Rogers considers their role in the religion of this region. This informative presentation concludes with consideration of the myths and epics of Mesopotamia, many of which are still required reading in school literary programs. All subsequent explorations of this subject owe a debt of gratitude to this pioneering study.
Robert William Rogers (1864-1930) earned his Ph.D. at Leipzig University. His teaching career included appointments at Drew Theological Seminary in New Jersey, and Princeton University, where he taught Ancient Oriental Literature. His best know publication is his two-volume A History of Babylonia and Assyria.
