Textul de pe ultima copertă

Babylonian Magic and Sorcery is a treasury of esoteric writing concerning the prayers and rituals to ancient deities from the dawn of Western civilization. Leonard W. King, an expert in the field of Babylonian and Assyrian translations, presents a series of texts from tablets uncovered during archaeological excavations at Ninevah. Included are 76 illustrations of cuneiform tablets, King's transliteration and translation of the inscriptions, and appendices with a Hebrew-Babylonian-English glossary, a list of proper names, and a list of numerals. When first published in 1896, recognition of this remarkable work was largely eclipsed by the popularity and profusion of newly discovered Egyptian magical texts. However, as R. A. Gilbert points out in a new Foreword for this edition, the evolution of the Western Mystery Tradition actually owes more to Babylonian and Assyrian magical traditions than to anything assimilated from Egyptian sources. Therefore, this becomes a very significant text for people interested in the origins of Western religious practices and the Western Mystery Tradition.
