Description:
Routledge:, 1994. 320 pages, illustrated in b&w. "This book is a new contribution to current debates about sex and eroticism. It gives an insight into Mesopotamian attitudes to sexuality by examining the oldest preserved written evidence on the subject- the Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform sources- which were written between the 21st and the 5th centuries B.C. Using this long-neglected and often astonishing data, the author is able to analyse Mesopotamian views on prostitution, love magic and deviant secual behavior, as well as more general issues on sexuality and gender. This fascinating book sheds light on the sexual culture of one of the earliest literate civilization." FINE HARDCOVER, FINE- DUST JACKET, jacket has some creasing, no chips or tears.. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine-. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
