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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51819155325216,"sku":"NEW0367666189","price":61.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71K9_kiQBLL.jpg?v=1781126417","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-babylonian-astronomical-compendium-mulapin-scientific-writings-from-the-ancient-and-medieval-world-0367666189","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
