[QUOTE="Canuckster, post: 77103034, member: 446577"] My oldest book I own is The Murashu archive, 730 clay tablets (in digital format), found at Nippur, Babylon 1893, and published by Hermann Vollrat Hilprecht 1904. The archives are corporate records of the business dealings of the Jewish Babylonian Murashu clan who were the world’s first wealthy and powerful international banking family. The Murashu’s were landowners, agricultural managers and owners of the great Babylonian firm, Murashu Sons, between 464- 404 BC during the reigns of the Persian kings Artaxerxes I and Darius II. This was during the time of Ezra and Nehemiah. I believe it was this banking firm based in Babylon that was responsible for putting the Jews in Jerusalem into unplayable debt, recorded in Nehemiah 5, and had seized all their property: “their lands, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses…” Nehemiah rebuked them and they promised to restore their properties. Today you can get old books for free cause the copyrights have expired and they’re now in the public domain. If my digital library was converted to print I would probably need to build a library building to store them. The book you posted, “The Culture of Kiev Rus” by Academician B. D. Grecov, can be found here for free download: [URL]https://ia801707.us.archive.org/25/items/dli.ernet.14103/14103-The%20Culture%20Of%20Kiev%20Rus.pdf[/URL] [/QUOTE]
