Babylonian House Numbers and Squares of Zodiacal Signs
The texts BM 36628+ and BM 45720 contain number schemes, which in their first four columns list consecutive lines of Calendar Texts. These texts add six more columns (columns 5–10) to the classic Calendar Text. Therefore, we shall call them expanded Calendar Texts. The additional column 10 lists house numbers j, while column 9 contains four signs (labeled i) over four consecutive lines, one of which equals a j-value. As we shall see, the i-values…
Babylonian House Numbers and Squares of Zodiacal Signs
BM 47762 is the rest of a circular tablet, which was divided into 12 sectors by lines from the center to the rim. Each sector was labelled by a zodiacal sign. Our tablet consists in part of the sectors IX, X, XI, and XII, which are concerned with the zodiacal signs of Sagittarius (month IX), Capricorn (month X), Aquarius (month XI), and Pisces (month XII). In lines 2 to 5 of each sector, some four numbers are written, which in pairs can be unders…
The Babylonian Dodecatemoria and Calendar Texts
The Dodecatemoria may be understood as a very simple reproduction of the Moon’s movement: for each day in the schematic year, the Dodecatemoria-scheme gives the position of the schematic Moon in the zodiacal circle. The Moon’s angular velocity was calculated as 13°/day and the Sun’s, as 1°/day. The scheme of the Calendar Texts may also be interpreted astronomically: for each position in the zodiacal circle, it gives the date at which the schemati…
Procedure texts and lunar predictions, Babylonian
Babylonian astronomy is characteristic for being numerical and for concentrating on special phases – calculating the Moon's position not as a function of time, but calculating the times and positions at which some special events took place.
