Introduction
The section provides the full text of the Appendices of G. Buccellati’s book “When on High the Heavens…”, offering both the transcription (both the graphemic transliteration and the phonemic transcription) of the Akkadian texts (according to the sources chosen by the author, put on top of each Appendix) and their English transations (following G. Buccellati’s own translation).
The Appendices are here listed in their numerical order, as in the volume.
For the Hebrew text of the Old Testament, we follow that of the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia [BHS] (available on Tanakh Project).
