Add to basketPaperback. Silver, Money and Credit gathers a collection of contributions byleading specialists on the role of silver in Ancient Mesopotamia. Thevolume is a tribute to Robartus J. van der Spek, professor emeritus atthe VU University Amsterdam. The thematic core area is thedocumentation concerning silver in cuneiform sources from firstmillennium BC Babylonia, and how this vast body of primary sources canbe employed in order to shed light on aspects of the economy. It thuscoincides with the honourees main area of research. The volume isrounded off by comparative material mainly from other periods inMesopotamian history, rendering justice to his broad range of interest.The scope of the volume thus extends from the first written records onthe use of silver in Uruk to the Neo-Babylonian Empires apogee in thesixth century BC and further to insights to be gained from comparisonswith early modern economies.
