Miscellaneous Babylonian Inscriptions is a book compiled by George Aaron Barton, first published in 1918. The book contains a collection of inscriptions from ancient Babylon, written in cuneiform script. These inscriptions are primarily legal and administrative documents, such as contracts, deeds, and receipts, but also include religious texts and letters. The inscriptions date from the 20th century BCE to the 5th century BCE and are primarily from the cities of Babylon and Nippur. Barton provides translations and commentary on the inscriptions, offering insight into the social, economic, and religious practices of ancient Babylonian society.
