Swerdlow, in the introduction, writes of the amazing world of ancient Babylonian astronomy opened up by the labors of several Jesuit priests, most notably Father Franz Xavier Kugler. Kugler's work, he writes, not only revolutionized the study of Babylonian astronomy "...but the entire history of science in antiquity...Kugler's first book is, in my opinion, the finest, the most original, and the most difficult study carried out in the history of science up to the date of its publication. An entire lost world of extremely sophisticated science had been discovered, something that has happened only once." ; Dibner Institute Studies in the History of Science and Technology; 1.07 x 9.25 x 6.27 Inches; 388 pages . 2000.
