In many cases, there is a very limited corpus of literature dealing with the identifications of constellations.

Babylonian

The dictionary of Babylonian celestial names had been compiled by G. Kurtik (2007) based on Goessmann (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.
