Robert W. Rogers (1864-1930), American professor of biblical
exegesis, became fascinated by the Hebrew language as a boy, when
trying to understand the Book of Job, and subsequently studied
ancient languages and history in Leipzig and Oxford, where he
became a friend of A. H. Sayce. In this two-volume 1901 work, he
provides a history of the Mesopotamian civilisations, but begins
with an extensive review of the archaeological and literary sources
of information, opening with the earliest accounts of Western
travellers. Volume 2 deals with the history of Assyria, from its
beginnings through to its expansion (which included the conquest of
Babylon), leading to a great empire, its relations with the tribes
of Israel, and its decline. The final section covers the Chaldean
empire. The work, with its detailed review of and reliance on
original sources, is still valuable as an introduction to a long
period of ancient Middle Eastern history.
