PRINc.i.p.aL SOURCES AND WORKS OF REFERENCE
For the Excavations: R. A. S. Macalister, 'Reports on the Excavation of Gezer,' in the _Quarterly Statements_ of the Palestine Exploration Fund (October 1902-October 1905; July 1907-July 1908); _id._, _Bible Side-lights from the Mound of Gezer_ (London, 1906, numerous ill.u.s.trations); Ernst Sellin, 'Tell Ta'annek,' in the _Denkschriften_ of the Vienna Academy (1904-5); W. M. Flinders Petrie, _Researches in Sinai_ (London, 1906); Hugues Vincent, _Canaan d'apres l'Exploration Recente_ (Paris, 1907; a valuable account, from the archaeological standpoint, of the results of excavation contained in the above works and elsewhere); G. Schumacher, _Tell el-Mutesellim_ (Leipzig, 1908), vol. i., text and plates.
Evidence from Babylonian or a.s.syrian Texts: H. Winckler, _The Tell-el-Amarna Tablets_ (London, 1896); new edition by J. A. Knudtzon, _Die El-Amarna-Tafeln_ (Leipzig, 1907-8; Parts i.-x.); H. Zimmern, _Die Keilinschriften und das Alte Testament_ (Berlin, 1903; pp. 345-643); A.
Jeremias, _Das Alte Testament im Lichte des Alten Orients_ (Leipzig, 1906); M. Jastrow, _Die Religion Babyloniens und a.s.syriens_ (Giessen, 1905--).
Egyptian Sources: W. M. Muller, _Asien und Europa nach Alt-agyptischen Denkmalern_ (Leipzig, 1893); {117} J. H. Breasted, _History of Egypt_ (London, 1906); _id._, _Ancient Records of Egypt: Historical Doc.u.ments_ (1906-7); _Zeitschrift fur Aegyptische Sprache_, etc. etc.
Of general works, W. R. Smith, _Lectures on the Religion of the Semites: the Fundamental Inst.i.tutions_ (London, 1894), is naturally indispensable. Important, also, are G. A. Barton, _A Sketch of Semitic Origins, Social and Religious_ (New York, 1902); Marie-Joseph Lagrange, _etudes sur les Religions Semitiques_ (Paris, 1905); J. G. Frazer, _Adonis, Attis, and Osiris: Studies in the History of Oriental Religion_ (London, 1907). For Modern Semitic Religion there is a large ma.s.s of scattered evidence; the most illuminating works are those of C.
M. Doughty, _Arabia Deserta_ (Cambridge, 1888); S. I. Curtiss, _Primitive Semitic Religion To-day_ (London, 1902); A. Jaussen, _Coutumes des Arabes au Pays de Moab_ (Paris, 1908). For the history of the period may be consulted the works of G. Maspero (_Histoire Ancienne_; Paris, 1904, etc.), or the popular account, with typical ill.u.s.trations, by G. Cormack, _History of Palestine in Early Times_ (forthcoming).
For those unacquainted with modern comparative study in the field of religion, one of the most serviceable introductory books is J. A.
Macculloch's _Comparative Theology_ (Churchman's Library, London, 1902).
