‘This is a brilliant work on an important topic, which brings Mesopotamia firmly into the realm of history of science. Rochberg has managed to assimilate all of the key thinkers and studies in the history of epistemology and science and to integrate these theories into her discourse, culminating in completely original and innovative insights into ancient science.' Mark Geller, University College London ‘Rochberg's book is a timely, original work that significantly advances a line of analysis concerning Mesopotamian celestial science that she has been developing for much of her career as a leading historian of the ancient world.'Alan C. Alan C. Bowen, Institute for Research in Classical Philosophy and Science
