Synopsis The Last Witch of Sumer by : Venu G. Joshi
‘I stood guard for them in the age of beginning, I stand as their shield now, and shall you wish to turn your eye towards them again, you will find me as their sentry.’ A metropolis created and controlled by supernatural elites, Del Tores exists on the edges of man's reality. Supernaturals, the likes of witches, vampires, ghouls and necromancers, constitute the highest social order of the city’s populace. A series of high-profile abductions have rocked the metropolis as a militant organization known as the Restoration Congregation rises to infamy. The most recent and brazen kidnapping of Zenit Aimes, a celebrated actress, and a high-witch, is indicative of the unafraid forces prowling the dark of Del Tores. Upon learning about her mother's disappearance, twenty-three-year-old high-witch, Anja Aimes, is returning home after a decade long absence. On her path to rescuing her kidnapped mother, Anja meets old friends, makes new allies, battles ancient evils, and resurrects extinct magiks as she discovers herself and her connection to the long lost legacy of the Sumerian witches.

Synopsis The Sumerians by : Samuel Noah Kramer
The Sumerians, the pragmatic and gifted people who preceded the Semites in the land first known as Sumer and later as Babylonia, created what was probably the first high civilization in the history of man, spanning the fifth to the second millenniums B.C. This book is an unparalleled compendium of what is known about them. Professor Kramer communicates his enthusiasm for his subject as he outlines the history of the Sumerian civilization and describes their cities, religion, literature, education, scientific achievements, social structure, and psychology. Finally, he considers the legacy of Sumer to the ancient and modern world. "There are few scholars in the world qualified to write such a book, and certainly Kramer is one of them. . . . One of the most valuable features of this book is the quantity of texts and fragments which are published for the first time in a form available to the general reader. For the layman the book provides a readable and up-to-date introduction to a most fascinating culture. For the specialist it presents a synthesis with which he may not agree but from which he will nonetheless derive stimulation."—American Journal of Archaeology "An uncontested authority on the civilization of Sumer, Professor Kramer writes with grace and urbanity."—Library Journal

Synopsis Corpus of Mesopotamian Anti-Witchcraft Rituals by : Tzvi Abusch
Among the most important sources for understanding the cultures and systems of thought of ancient Mesopotamia is a large body of magical and medical texts written in the Sumerian and Akkadian languages. An especially significant branch of this literature centres upon witchcraft. Mesopotamian anti-witchcraft rituals and incantations attribute ill-health and misfortune to the magic machinations of witches and prescribe ceremonies, devices, and treatments for dispelling witchcraft, destroying the witch, and protecting and curing the patient. The Corpus of Mesopotamian Anti-Witchcraft Rituals aims to present a reconstruction of this body of texts; it provides critical editions of the relevant rituals and prescriptions based on the study of the cuneiform tablets and fragments recovered from the libraries of ancient Mesopotamia. "Now that we have the second volume, we the more admire the thoughtful organisation of the entire project, the strict methods followed, and the insightful observations and decisions made." - Martin Stol, in: Bibliotheca Orientalis LXXIV n° 3-4 (mei-augustus 2017)

Synopsis Inanna, Lady of Largest Heart by : Enheduanna
Around 2,300 BC Enheduanna was high priestess to the moon god Nanna at his temple in Ur, a position she held for almost forty years. This volume translates Enheduanna's three devotional poems to the goddess Inanna accompanied by an extensive commentary and discussion which places these highly personal and unique expressions within the context of Sumerian culture and religion. The author highlights the importance of the poems and the princess for our understanding of the place of women in Near Eastern society and religion.
