Description

Heading:
Author: Layard, Austen Henry
Title: Nineveh and Its Remains: With an Account of a Visit to the ChaldÃ¦an Christians of Kurdistan, and the Yezidis, or Devil-Worshippers; and an Inquiry into the Manners and Arts of the Ancient Assyrians
Place Published: London
Publisher:John Murray
Date Published: 1849
Description:

2 volumes. xxx [4], 399, [1]; xii, 491 pp. Illustrated with numerous plates from engravings, drawings, fold-out plans including one of the excavations at Nimroud, and a folding map; each with a lithograph frontispiece. (8vo) 21.7x13.7 cm (8½x5½"), polished quarter-calf and feather-marbled boards, spines tooled and lettered in gilt, brown morocco lettering pieces, all edges marbled, matching feather-marbled endpapers. First Edition.

An account of the author's diggings and findings in the great mound of Nimroud in 1845, where he made discoveries of carved cuneiform slabs. However, Layard wrongly identified the site as that of Nineveh but in fact it is the city of Calah, the second capital of Assyria, after Ashur and before Nineveh. He later correctly identified the site of Kuyunjik as Nineveh.

Condition

Light rubbing at extremities; light foxing to plates and endpapers (affecting some images); map with corner split repaired from reverse with tape; about near fine.
