Abstract
This comprehensive overview of Babylonian history, society and culture—which adheres to the middle chronology and strays relatively little into discussions of other, overlapping Mesopotamian cultural phases—is organized topically into chapters on the natural setting and perceptions of world as revealed in cuneiform writings, political history, socioeconomic organization and institutions, spirituality and religion, and material culture.
