This volume presents a depiction of the Aramaic tribes of Mesopotamia; it explores the ancient and modern periods, the civil and religious influences, and the pagan and Christian heritage. For the past five centuries, the name Chaldean has been applied to Aramaic speaking people of Mesopotamia, and was the last term used to indicate Mesopotamian identity. The author was inspired by the presence of over a hundred thousand Chaldeans in the United States to produce this reference. He cites books and articles that deal with the history and culture, ancient and modern periods, the civil and religious influences, and the pagan and Christian heritage. The unannotated entries are arranged first by ancient and modern periods, then by form -- such as English books and non-English journal articles.

The hypocephalus is an element of Late Period and Ptolemaic funerary equipment—an amuletic disc placed under the head of mummies. Its shape emulates the sun’s disc, and its form is planar (although it is occasionally concave). This volume analyses the written records and iconography of these objects.

There is nothing new in the identification of Jy ""TT" (Khaziti or Haziti) with if (Gaza), for it was published by Mr. Layard in his work, "Discoveries in the Ruins of Nineveh and Babylon," p. 627, in the year 1853. It is now shown that the hard consonant sound of the Hebrew y occurs in the Assyrian language and that it is expressed by the consonant part of the syllabic sign kha.
