II. Deity.

       Nabu as a deity became known in Mesopotamia from the beginning of the 2nd millennium BC. The center of worship and veneration for Nabu was the city of Borsippa near Babylon. With time, he entered the circle of Marduk's gods, first as his vizier, mentioned in AN:dAnum (II 242) (dAG dNa-bi-um = SUKKAL dMarduk.ke4 "Nabu = Minister of Marduk" [Litke 1998[10], 96:242]) he appears in this capacity, and then (not before the Kassite period) as the son of Marduk and Zarpanitu. The goddess of fate, Tashmetu, was considered his wife. The importance of Nabu gradually increased, in popularity, he equaled Marduk and even replaced Marduk in the Neo-Babylonian period. The standard symbol of Nabu is the scribe's slate. Some attributes of Marduk, including the serpent dragon Mushkhushshu, were also transferred to him [Kurtik 2007[11], fig. 48]. The earliest evidence of the astral meaning of Nabu is the description of the 8th campaign of Sargon II (714 BC). It remains unclear why exactly Nabu was identified in Mesopotamia with the planet Mercury. Since Nabu was considered the son of Marduk, in astrology, Mercury was regarded as the star of the crown prince. See. [MHM II[12], 194; Black-Green 1992[13], 133-134; Brown 2000[2], 67-68; NSAM 2[5], 19, § 21; Tallqvist 1938[14], 380-384].

Historical Dictionaries

Kurtik (2022, n02) Gössmann (1950)
ранняя форма: mul / dNa-bi-um; = dAG, dPA, dMUATI; Набу, бог, покровитель писцового искусства и мудрости, сын Мардука и местное божество города Борсиппы; 1) = планета Меркурий, 2) = Антарес (α Scorpii) (?), 3) созвездие Корабль (?) [G. 290].

I. Источники.

8-й поход Саргона II. i-na qi2-bi-it ṣir-te ša2 dNabû dMarduk ša2 i-na man-za-az mul.meš …iṣ-ba-tu ta-lu-ku «Согласно величественному повелению Набу (и) Мардука, которые в звездных «стоянках» … держат путь», цит. по [Brown 2000, 14, note 41]. Здесь, по-видимому, речь идет о Набу и Мардуке как планетах Меркурии и Юпитере; анализ различных вариантов перевода текста и его интерпретации см. [ibid.]. «Новоассирийская молитва ночным богам». Среди астральных богов: mulNa-bi-um [Oppenheim 1959, 283:20]. EAE. См. [ACh Suppl., 8:7; NSAM 2, 248]. MUL.APIN. Звезды Эа (№ 11): «Грудь Cкорпиона: Лиси, Набу» (I ii 30), см. g19GIR2.TAB. «Письма». См. [LABS, 64:5]. Список звезд VR 46, 1:38. mulma2.gur8 mulsuḫur.maš2 = dNabû(MUATI) u dTaš-me-tu4 «Корабль (и) Коза-рыба = Набу и Ташмету» [HBA, 52:38; Wee 2016, 162–3]. См. также dNa-bi-um lu-u2 dPA-[a-ti?…] [NSAM 2, IIIa: 7′].

Звезда востока и запада: dNabû(AG) ni-bu-u2? … MUL ṣit šamši(dUTU.E3) u3 erēb šamši(dUTU.ŠU2.A) «Набу, блестящий … звезда востока и запада» [BE VIII, 142:10], цит. по [G. 290]; параллель см. [Lambert 1957–58, 386:11].

II. Божество.

Набу как божество стал известен в Месопотамии с начала II тыс. до н.э. Центром его почитания был город Борсиппа, расположенный вблизи Вавилона. Со временем он вошел в круг богов Мардука сначала как его визирь, в AN:dAnum (II 242) (dAG dNa-bi-um = SUKKAL dMarduk.ke4 «Набу = министр Мардука» [Litke 1998, 96:242]) он фигурирует именно в этом качестве, а затем (не ранее касситского периода) как сын Мардука и Зарпаниту. Его женой считалась богиня судьбы Ташмету. Значение Набу постепенно возрастало, по своей популярности он сравнялся с Мардуком и даже вытеснил его в нововавилонский период. Стандартным символом Набу считался писцовый грифель. К нему перешли также некоторые атрибуты Мардука, в том числе змеиный дракон Мушхушшу [Куртик 2007, рис. 48]. Самое раннее свидетельство об астральном значении Набу — описание 8-го похода Саргона II (714 г. до н.э.). Остается невыясненным, почему именно Набу отождествляли в Месопотамии с планетой Меркурий. Поскольку Набу считался сыном Мардука, в астрологии Меркурий рассматривался как звезда наследного принца. См. [MHM II, 194; Black–Green 1992, 133–134; Brown 2000, 67–68; NSAM 2, 19, § 21; Tallqvist 1938, 380–384].

III. Астрология.

(1) Луна и Набу (= Меркурий); DIŠ 30 ina UD.1.KAM2 ina IGI.LA2-šu2 SI-šu2 ša2 2,30 GAM-ma mulNa-bu-u2 (вар.: Ne2-bu-u2) : mulDil-bat ina A2-šu2 GUB-az [MU.3.KAM2] KUR.[MAR].TU KUR2 KU2 «Если Луна (наблюдается) при своем появлении в 1-й день (месяца и) ее левый рог скошен Меркурием, вар.: Венера с его стороны стоит: [в течение 3 лет] враг пожрет страну [Амур]ру» [ACh Suppl., 8:7; NSAM 2, Table I, § 21].

(2) Наблюдение Набу как Меркурия (?); [ina] dUTU.ŠU2.A ne2-˹ta˺-ma[r] /  [is-s]u-ri a-na LUGAL EN-[ia] / [i-š]ap-pa-ru-u2-n[i] / [ma-a p]a-ni-u2 dP[A] / [ma-a ur]-ki-u2 d[xx] «Мы наблюдал[и … на] западе. [Мо]жет быть [о]ни напишут царю, [моему] господину: “[Пе]рвым (был) На[бу], [послед]ним бог [xx]”» [LABS, 64:2–6]; в этом письме речь идет, возможно, о Набу как Меркурии [Brown 2000, 56].
