Bøker av Erica Reiner

The first in an intended series of studies of the canonical corpus of celestial omens, Enuma Anu Enlil. Tablet 63, the 'Venus' tablet, forms the basis of this study. Enuma Anu Enlil is the name by which the series of celestial omens was known to the Babylonians.

Erica Reiner provides a study of magic and religion in Babylonia. The book is a very readable exploration of the way that the stars and planets were used in magic, medicine, divination and sorcery.
