The Temple of Ištar-of-Akkad in Babylon

BIBLIOGRAPHIA IRANICA: The Temple of Ištar-of-Akkad in Babylon from the Neo-Assyrian until the Persian Period.

Notice of a New Book: Boivin, Odette. 2026. The Temple of Ištar-of-Akkad in Babylon from the Neo-Assyrian until the Persian Period. The Archival Texts (Abhandlungen der Deutschen Orient-Gesellschaft 33). Wiesbaden: Harrassowitz. Follow the link for description and a link to the publisher's page.

I like to keep track of what was happening in Babylon in the Second Temple period, both in reality, as here, and in Greek and Aramaic fantasy.
