The Origin Of Semitic Civilization, Chiefly Upon Philological Evidence (1872)

""The Origin of Semitic Civilization"" is a historical and linguistic study written by Archibald Henry Sayce and first published in 1872. The book explores the origins of Semitic civilization, focusing primarily on philological evidence. Sayce draws on his extensive knowledge of ancient languages and cultures to trace the development of Semitic civilization from its earliest roots in the Middle East to its spread throughout the ancient world. He examines the linguistic and cultural connections between the various Semitic peoples, including the Babylonians, Assyrians, and Hebrews, and argues that the Semitic languages and cultures played a crucial role in the development of Western civilization. The book is a fascinating exploration of the history and culture of one of the world's oldest and most influential civilizations, and remains a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient history and linguistics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
