| Summary | "A History of Art in Chaldæa & Assyria, Vol. 1 (of 2)" by Perrot and Chipiez is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The volumes aim to explore the artistic heritage and civilizations of ancient Chaldæa and Assyria, encapsulating the interplay between their art, culture, and socio-political developments. Through a careful examination of archaeological findings, the text seeks to illuminate the artistic achievements and historical significance of these ancient societies. The opening of this work sets a foundational stage for understanding the geographical and historical context of Chaldæa and Assyria. It introduces the civilization as one that emerged in the alluvial plains between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, highlighting the duality of its evolution alongside a discussion of its natural environment. The authors emphasize the contrast between the two regions and detail how the inhabitants transitioned from nomadic to sedentary agricultural lifestyles, which eventually led to the rich cultural and artistic legacies that the book intends to explore. Moreover, the initial chapters elucidate the basic characteristics of Chaldæo-Assyrian civilization—its geographical boundaries, natural resources, and the significance of its rivers in fostering early settlement and cultural development.
