According to the author, this book has a twofold aim - to reconstruct the
Babylonian star-map as it would have been known in the First Millennium BC - and
to describe the appearances and basic natures of all the stars and
constellations found in the Babylonian heavens. As such this is a primary source
for anyone wishing to explore the origins of the constellations, including all
the precursors of our modern zodiac. It will also be of considerable value to
anyone interested in the origins of astrology. The black and white illustrations
in particular help to bring the subject to life. All in all a fascinating book
on a much neglected subject.
