Library
Babylonian
The dictionary of Babylonian celestial names had been compiled by G. Kurtik (2007) based on Gössmann (1950). Kurtik's version is much improved and enriched, however it has been reworked by himself until his death in April 2023 and further reworked and translated to English by the research group led by Wayne Horowitz and Susanne M. Hoffmann.
As we present them here, the references for the Babylonian Sky Culture are so rich that they need to go to another website.

Greco-Roman
The dictionary of Greco-Roman celestial names is compiled by members of the IAU WGSN.
The original sources are compiled in a separate page.
Early Modern
Secondary literature (modern authors who write about specific cases of identifications or constellation history) is collected on a separate page.

Several partial or complete journals describing the events of the "Eerste Schipvaart" have been preserved - the journal of Willem Lodewijcksz, published in Amsterdam in April 1598, is generally considered to be the most important one. Reprinted with copious notes in the first volume of:
Some of the other journals were already published in October 1597 by the Middelburg publisher Berent Langenes who issued revised and expanded editions in December 1597 and early 1598:
Contemporary translations, mainly based on the 1597/98 edition of Langenes, were published in English, German, Latin and French:
