Babylon has always exerted a magical charm on everyone who has been
told of its splendour and grandeur. Nobody who has succumbed to this
charm, whether he is a layman who just wants to browse a little in his
search for old secrets, or a scholar who wants to inform himself about
the latest academic research, will be disappointed by this volume.
