About the author

Charles Gordon Cumming is listed by Project Gutenberg as an author born in 1885, and the work most clearly associated with him is The Assyrian and Hebrew Hymns of Praise. From the surviving catalog records available online, he appears to have written in the field of biblical and comparative literary study rather than popular fiction.

That book examines connections between Assyrian and Hebrew devotional writing, suggesting an interest in ancient Near Eastern literature, the Psalms, and the history of religious expression. Reliable biographical details beyond his birth year and authorship are scarce in the sources I could confirm, so it is best to describe him as a specialized scholar-author whose reputation rests mainly on this study.
