Volume 247 of Denkschriften / Österreichische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Philosophisch-Historische Klasse. The Babylonian astronomical diaries are a collection of Babylonian cuneiform texts written in Akkadian language that contain systematic records of astronomical observations and political events, predictions based on astronomical observations, weather reports, and commodity prices, kept for about 600 years, from around 652 BCE to 61 BCE. The commodity prices are included for six items (barley, dates, mustard (cuscuta), cress (cardamom), sesame, and wool) for particular dates. Currently, most of the surviving several hundred clay tablets are stored in the British Museum. These are classified as the third category of Babylonian astronomical texts, alongside the Astronomical Cuneiform Texts published by Otto Neugebauer and Abraham Sachs and GADEx, sometimes called "non-ACT" by Neugebauer. It is suggested that the diaries were used as sources for the Babylonian Chronicles. Translations of the Diaries are published in multivolume Astronomical Diaries and Related Texts from Babylonia, edited by Abraham Sachs and Hermann Hunger. Volume I - Diaries from 652 B.C. to 262 B.C. (ISBN 3-7001-1227-0, 1988). Volume II - Diaries from 261 B.C. to 165 B.C. (ISBN 3-7001-1705-1, 1989). Volume III - Diaries from 164 B.C. to 61 B.C. (ISBN 3-7001-2578-X, 1996). Volume IV - Undated Diaries and Addenda (ISBN 978-3-7001-9032-5, 2022). Volume V - Lunar and Planetary Texts (ISBN 3-7001-3028-7, 2001), contains lunar and planetary data from the 8th century BC to the 1st century BC. Volume VI - Goal Year Texts (ISBN 978-3-7001-3727-6, 2006), contains lunar and planetary data, from the 3rd century BC to the 1st century BC. Volume VII - Almanacs and Normal Star Almanacs (ISBN 978-3-7001-7627-5, 2014), contains astronomical almanacs, from the 3rd century BC to the 1st century AD.…

hardcover. Condizione: New. 1st.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. From the 7th to the 1st century BC, daily observations of the sky were performed and their results written down on clay tablets in some Babylonian cities, especially in Babylon. The observations concern the moon and the planets and their phenomena, as well as the weather, the level of the River Euphrates and the prices of important commodities. While these "Astronomical Diaries" are mostly fragmentary and cover only a small part of the period concerned, they nevertheless provide important insights into an observational program that was carried out over seven centuries and contains valuable material even for modern astronomers. Volume IV contains all Astronomical Diaries that were too fragmentary to be dated and, in an Addenda section, those that it was only possible to date after the publication of volumes I-III. Together, volumes I-IV provide the complete edition of this group of cuneiform texts. It can be expected that the newly dated Diaries in particular will prove interesting for astronomers and historians, and will contribute new details to the history of Babylonia in the Hellenistic and Parthian periods. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
