Cuneiform Texts and the Writing of History (Approaching the Ancient World)
Marc Van De Mieroop
Synopsis "Cuneiform Texts and the Writing of History (Approaching the Ancient World)"
Cuneiform Texts and the Writing of History discusses how the abundant Mesopotamian cuneiform text sources can be used for the study of various aspects of history: political, social, economic and gender. Marc Van De Mieroop provides a student-friendly introduction to the subject and:* criticises disciplinary methodologies which are often informed by a desire to write a history of events* scrutinises the intellectual background of historical writings* examines how Mesopotamia's position as the 'other' in Classical and Biblical writings has influenced scholarship* illustrates approaches with examples taken from the entirety of Mesopotamian history.
