Neues zum Diagnosehandbuch (Sakikkû): Neue Textzeugen und Joins für die Kapitel 1 bis 6

Abstract The article presents a considerable number of new serial manuscripts, fragments, and joins for the so-called Diagnostic Handbook, which–besides duplicates that verify and concretise existing readings–offer new textual data for previously fragmentary passages, connections between otherwise isolated fragments, and formerly unattested tablets. In addition, some of the fragments on display point to further intertextual connections to other divinatory series, newly identified correspondences with commentary texts, and excerpt texts from the 1 st and the 2 nd millennium B.C.E.
