Ancestor of the West by Jean Bottero
With "Ancestor of the West", three distinguished French historians reveal the story of the birth of writing and reason, demonstrating how the logical and religious structures of Near Eastern and Mesopotamian cultures served as precursors to those of the West.Jean Bottéro is Director of Studies and Professor of Assyriology at the École Pratique des Hautes Études in Paris. His books include La Religion babylonnienne (1952), and Mesopotamia: Writing, Reasoning and the Gods (University of Chicago Press, 1992). Apart from being France's leading Assyriologist, he is also a distinguished chef.
