Author Description

Excerpt from The Seal Cylinders of Western Asia Such as it is, I commit this work to the judgment of scholars. Of this I am satisfied, that the thousands of cylinders that have passed under my eye have included the main Babylonian, Assyrian, Persian, and syro-hittite types, and to no one will further explanations and better identifications of the gods and their emblems be more welcome than to myself.
