TAILIEUCHUNG - Babylonian-Assyrian Birth-Omens and Their Cultural Significance

As a result of researches in the field of Babylonian-Assyrian divination, now extending over a number of years[1], it may be definitely said that apart from the large class of miscellaneous omens[2], the Babylonians and Assyrians developed chiefly three methods of divination into more or less elaborate systems--divination through the inspection of the liver of a sacrificial animal or Hepatoscopy, through the observation of the movements in the heavens or Astrology, (chiefly directed to the moon and the planets but also to the sun and the prominent stars and constellations), and through the observance of signs noted at birth in infants and the young of animals. | Babylonian-Assyrian Birth-Omens and Their by Morris Jastrow 1 PROJECT GUTENBERG BAB YLO N LAN-AS SYRIAN BIRTH-OMENS AND THEIR CULTURAL SIGNIFICANCE Morris Jas trow Babylonian-Assyrian Birth-Omens and Their by Morris Jastrow The Project Gutenberg EBook of Babylonian-Assyrian Birth-Omens and Their Cultural Significance by Morris Jastrow This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever.
