The Etruscan Brontoscopic Calendar is a rare document of omens
foretold by thunder. It long lay hidden, embedded in a Greek
translation within a Byzantine treatise from the age of Justinian.
The first complete English translation of the Brontoscopic
Calendar, this book provides an understanding of Etruscan Iron Age
society as revealed through the ancient text, especially the
Etruscans' concerns regarding the environment, food, health, and
disease. Jean MacIntosh Turfa also analyzes the ancient Near
Eastern sources of the Calendar and the subjects of its
predictions, thereby creating a picture of the complexity of
Etruscan society reaching back the before the advent of writing and
the recording of the calendar.
