Author Description

Excerpt from Syria and Egypt: From the Tell El Amarna Letters Winckler's translations, and summaries of all the new ones have been made from those translations. I have retained the original references to the older translations, because Winckler's edition is so extremely bald and deficient in general information, so purely a linguistic exercise and not an effective edition, that the older publications are still of value for details of place, state, dockets, &c. But in every case W inckler's number, W. N., is placed against each summary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
