摘要

这篇文章讨论了巴比伦关于动物及其行为的预兆集合。这些预兆是一系列陆地预兆的一部分，这些预兆被称为Šumma ālu (ina mēlê šakin)“如果一座城市(建在一个高度上)”。这篇文章的主要论点是，这些动物的预兆不应该被看作是实际动物行为的直接反映，而是被看作是一种文化建构的动物饲养场所，也就是说，作为人类社会的一面镜子。这将通过一系列案例研究进行演示。

Ancient Mesopotamian Animal Omens

The article addresses a Babylonian collection of omens regarding animals and their behavior. These omens are part of a large series of terrestrial omens that is known as Šumma ālu (ina mēlê šakin) “If a city (is set on a height).” The main argument of this article is that these animal omens should not be seen as straightforward reflections of actual animal behavior, but are conceived as a culturally constructed bestiarium, that is, as a mirror of human society. This will be demonstrated through a series of case studies.
