バビロニア年代記

現在バビロニア年代記の一部と認められているほぼすべての粘土板は、19世紀に何者かによって発掘され、遺物業者の手を経て大英博物館に収められているものである。3点を除いては、詳しい来歴が分かっていないCaroline Waerzeggers, The_Babylonian_Chronicles_Classification_and_Provenance Journal of Near Eastern Studies 71/2 (2012), 285–298.。

 発見と出版 
バビロニア年代記は19世紀にバビロンで発掘された後に大英博物館に移されたと考えられているが、解読不能なまま数十年にわたりアーカイブされていた。初めて出版されたのは1887年、テオフィルス・ピンチェスが"The Babylonian Chronicle"と題してBM 92502 (ABC1)を出版したものである。1923年にはFall of Nineveh Chronicle（ニネヴェの陥落年代記、ABC 3)が、1924年にはシドニー・スミスによりEsarhaddon Chronicle (エサルハドン年代記、ABC 14)、Akitu Chronicle (アキトゥ年代記、ABC 16)、Nabonidus Chronicle (ナボニドゥス年代記、ABC 7)が、1956年にはドナルド・ワイズマンにより粘土板4枚分のNebuchadnezzar Chronicle (ネブカドネザル年代記、ABC 5)が出版されたWiseman, 1956, pages 1+2。
