Chaldaeorum Historiae Quae Supersunt presents the surviving fragments of the historical work of Berosus, a Chaldean priest who lived in the 3rd century BC. Written in Greek, Berosus's history provided a comprehensive account of Babylonian history, mythology, and culture. This edition, "Cum Commentatione De Berosi Vita Et Librorum Ejus Indole," includes a commentary on the life of Berosus and the nature of his books, offering valuable insights into the context and significance of his work.
Berosus's writings are crucial for understanding ancient Mesopotamia, providing a link between Babylonian traditions and the Hellenistic world. Although only fragments of his original work remain, they offer invaluable information on Babylonian cosmology, kingship, and social structures. This edition is an essential resource for scholars and anyone interested in ancient history, classical studies, and the cultural heritage of Mesopotamia.
