摘要

BM 76829是一块来自古巴比伦晚期Sippar的小石碑中段的碎片,保存了楔形文字天文学中与黄道十二宫有关的两块新的无与伦比的作品。正面的文字将数字值分配给黄道带符号的扇区,而背面的文字似乎将黄道带符号与特定的日子或天数间隔联系起来。正面使用的系统也提供了一种新的方式来表示楔形文字中数字“零”的概念,并首次在楔形文字中,将地平线划分为东部六个弧和西部六个弧的系统,类似于《以诺天文书》中使用的系统。正面和反面都可以描述太阳和月亮的周期性过程,类似于库姆兰天文文献中的内容,从而增加了我们对这两种文化之间科学关系的了解。

BM 76829: A small astronomical fragment with important implications for the Late Babylonian Astronomy and the Astronomical Book of Enoch

BM 76829, a fragment from the mid-section of a small tablet from Sippar in Late Babylonian script, preserves what remains of two new unparalleled pieces from the cuneiform astronomical repertoire relating to the zodiac. The text on the obverse assigns numerical values to sectors assigned to zodiacal signs, while the text on the reverse seems to relate zodiacal signs with specific days or intervals of days. The system used on the obverse also presents a new way of representing the concept of numerical ‘zero’ in cuneiform, and for the first time in cuneiform, a system for dividing the horizon into six arcs in the east and six arcs in the west akin to that used in the Astronomical Book of Enoch. Both the obverse and the reverse may describe the periodical courses of the sun and moon, in a similar way to what is found in astronomical texts from Qumran, thus adding to our knowledge of the scientific relationship between the two cultures.

期刊介绍: The Archive for History of Exact Sciences casts light upon the conceptual groundwork of the sciences by analyzing the historical course of rigorous quantitative thought and the precise theory of nature in the fields of mathematics, physics, technical chemistry, computer science, astronomy, and the biological sciences, embracing as well their connections to experiment. This journal nourishes historical research meeting the standards of the mathematical sciences. Its aim is to give rapid and full publication to writings of exceptional depth, scope, and permanence.
