Who knows of books on Mithraism?

If you do-- have you read these texts? Are they valuable to a person understanding little of this religion and its history? Thanks.

Franz Cumont is still considered the authority on the subject.

Books on Mithraism are useful for learning about the development of Christianity. Sadly I don’t know of any such books but here’s a good place to start.
