Records of the Past, 2nd Series, Volume IV by A. H. Sayce continues this classic series of English translations of ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern texts, first published in 1889. This fourth volume features an array of remarkable inscriptions and records, including The Official Life of an Egyptian Officer, the Hymn to Osiris, and The Synchronous History of Assyria and Babylonia. Highlights include multiple royal inscriptions of Shalmaneser II, a votive inscription of Assur-Natsir-Pal, and contract-tablets with historical references from Babylonia. Also featured are dedications to the Sun-God at Sippara and the striking Great Inscription of Argistis carved on the Rock of Van. Accessible yet scholarly, this volume is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the rich history and literature of the ancient world.
