From the Banks of the Euphrates: Studies in Honor of Alice Louise SlotskyAlthough Near Eastern languages and the history of the exact sciences are known for being obscure and deliberately arcane to general audiences, Alice Slotsky has paradoxically established her legacy by exposing these topics to a wider audience. As a visiting professor at Brown University, Slotsky has taught more students than any previous Assyriologist and successfully brought this discipline to a wider audience than previously imagined possible. This volume, with articles written by former students, as well as colleagues, pays tribute to her broad interests. |

In sum, of the fourteen dates of visibility phenomena, ten are plausible
observations, while the rest might have been derived from earlier observations. In

three Saroi earlier, which would push the origin and routine collection of Lunar
Six data back to the first quarter of the sixth century. The planetary and lunar ...
