Following an initial appraisal of ancient ?science? by Sir Geoffrey Lloyd, the contributions in the first half explore practices of knowledge in Assyriological sources. The second half of the volume focuses specifically on astronomical and astrological spheres of knowledge in the Ancient Mediterranean. 410 0$aAncient Magic and Divination$v13. 606 $aScience, Ancient 606 $aAssyriology 606 $aCivilization, Assyro-Babylonian 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aScience, Ancient. 615 0$aAssyriology. 615 0$aCivilization, Assyro-Babylonian. 676 $a509.35 701 $aCrisostomo$b C.
