Mesopotamia by Jean Bottero
The Mesopotamians invented writing and with it a new way of looking at the world. To understand how Mesopotamian civilization has been mediated and interpreted in its transmission through time, Bottero begins with an account of Assyriology, the discipline devoted to the ancient culture.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.
