MUL.APIN, written sometime before the 8th century BC, was the most
widely copied astronomical text in ancient Mesopotamia: a
compendium including information such as star lists, descriptions
of planetary phases, mathematical schemes for the length of day and
night, a discussion of the luni-solar calendar and rules for
intercalation, and a short collection of celestial omens. This book
contains an introductory essay, followed by a new edition of the
text and a facing-page transliteration and English translation.
Finally, the book contains a new and detailed commentary on the
text. This is a fascinating study, and an important resource for
anyone interested in the history of astronomy.
