Abstract
In the present article I analyze a group of Neo-Assyrian letters documenting a strife among the king's experts (ummânu) on the correct identification of visible planets. I draw some consideration on the activities of the circles of scholars assisting the Assyrian king, the system of the scribal families, and the changes intervening during the reign of Esarhaddon and Assurbanipal.File allegati a questo prodotto
