Abstract

Babylonian Chronographic Texts from the Hellenistic Period gathers in a single volume previously unpublished tablets together with those that have appeared before, including the Babylonian chronicles, the historical sections of the Astronomical Diaries, the Babylonian and Uruk King Lists, and the Antiochus Cylinder from Borsippa. The volume offers new descriptions, transliterations, and translations of each tablet, together with full linguistic and historical commentary. This comprehensive collection brings these important historiographic tools to a broader audience of scholars of history, biblical studies, and the ancient world. An appendix with entries on political institutions, temples, important persons, and Babylonian and Greek words makes this an indispensable tool for students.
