{"product_id":"9780367666187","title":"The Babylonian Astronomical Compendium MUL.APIN by Hermann Hunger","description":"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.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56288955826549,"sku":"9780367666187","price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780367666187","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
