Summary "A Primer of Assyriology" by A. H. Sayce is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work serves as a comprehensive introduction to the study of ancient Assyrian and Babylonian civilizations, focusing on their geography, languages, cultures, and historical contexts, particularly through the lens of archaeology and cuneiform writing. The opening of the book details the geography and populace of Babylonia and Assyria, emphasizing the role of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in shaping these ancient civilizations. It introduces key cities and regions, such as Eridu, Ur, and Babylon, while also touching on the distinct characteristics of the two civilizations: Babylonians as primarily agricultural and scholarly, and Assyrians as militaristic and organized. Sayce outlines the languages spoken, detailing how the Semitic populations of Assyria differed from the non-Semitic origins of Babylon's early civilization. This foundational overview establishes a strong context for the subsequent chapters, which promise to delve deeper into these ancient cultures, their histories, religions, and literary achievements.
