This Is A New Release Of The Original 1908 Edition.

1906. Transliterations and translations of a series of letters written in Babylonian Cuneiform, chiefly during the reigns of Nabonidus, Cyrus, Cambyses, and Darius.

1903. Volumes 1 and 2 of the original books. This work is a translation from the original Cuneiform text, with transliterations, vocabulary and notes. It discusses devils and evil spirits in Babylonia, being Babylonian and Assyrian incantations against the demons, ghouls, vampires, hobgoblins, ghosts and kindred evil spirits which attack mankind. Illustrated.

1908. This is the third volume of Luzac's Oriental Religions Series. The theories discussed in this book are based on a study of that intricate demonology which has gradually developed throughout the lands of Western Asia. The study of tabu from the Assyrian side had been comparatively neglected and the evidence gleaned from the cuneiform writings shows that it existed in practically the same form in Mesopotamia as in other countries. The material the author could gather was imperfect and the relative scientific value of what was actually known on the subject is proportionate to the amount of evidence which may be afforded at some later date by documents in the British Museum that were not released for this book.

1900. Volume II on the Omen astrology of the Babylonians.

This is Volume I. of an early work first published in 1904 by R. Campbell Thompson and is both expensive and hard to find in its first edition. It contains a large number of incantations historically performed in the ancient civilisations of Babylonia and Assyria. This fascinating work is thoroughly recommended for anyone with an interest in demonic rituals and mythical creatures. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce.
