This 1859 monograph revolutionised the scholarly understanding of the ancient Near East by producing evidence that a highly developed, literate civilisation had existed in Babylon long before the rise of the Greeks. Chwolson discusses a group of texts on agriculture, medicine and astrology that survive in tenth-century Arabic translations.
