Image description

Hepatoscopy, or Divination by the Liver. The Babylonians believed that the gods made their will known to men by the markings on the livers of sheep, after these had been consecrated for sacrifice. The Babylonian King is here seen in the temple-court anxiously awaiting the verdict of the diviner, who is conning the liver in his hand. A scribe takes down his words for future reference. Illustration for Hutchinson's History of the Nations (Hutchinson, c.1920). Note: Image has been digitally enhanced to facilitate repro.
