Leo Oppenheim. Drawing on an edition of previously unknown family correspondence written during years of exile and upheaval, Abraham Winitzer places Oppenheim's famous vision of Mesopotamia as a \"dead civilization\" within the historical world in which it emerged. Combining intellectual biography, the history of Assyriology, and a remarkable family archive, this two-volume work illuminates the intertwined histories of the twentieth century and the study of the ancient Near East. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Abraham Winitzer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004771735\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004771734\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2027\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Abraham Winitzer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":50665703833855,"sku":"9789004771734","price":179.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-worlds-of-yesterday-volume-abraham-winitzer-9789004771734","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
