Product Description:

Written in the form of a biography, this revised and updated edition discusses the significant social, governmental and religious developments of the period as they arise in the course of the narrative. Professor Davis' views attracted much scholarly attention from the first, and the resulting controversies are surveyed in the five new appendices contributed to this new edition. All references have been updated and particular attention paid to new translations of the sources. The entire text has also been redesigned and reset.
