<p>The <b>Babylonian Chronicles</b> are a loosely-defined series of about 45 <a href="Clay_tablet" title="Clay tablet">tablets</a> recording major events in <a href="Babylon" title="Babylon">Babylonian</a> history.<sup id="cite_ref-Waerzeggers_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Waerzeggers-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>

</p><p>They represent one of the first steps in the development of <a href="Ancient" class="mw-redirect" title="Ancient">ancient</a> <a href="Historiography" title="Historiography">historiography</a>. The Babylonian Chronicles are written in Babylonian <a href="Cuneiform" title="Cuneiform">cuneiform</a> and date from the reign of <a href="Nabonassar" title="Nabonassar">Nabonassar</a> until the <a href="Parthian_Empire" title="Parthian Empire">Parthian Period</a>. The tablets were composed by Babylonian astronomers ("Chaldaeans") who probably used the <i><a href="Astronomical_Diaries" class="mw-redirect" title="Astronomical Diaries">Astronomical Diaries</a></i> as their source.

</p><p>Almost all of the tablets were identified as chronicles once in the collection of the <a href="British_Museum" title="British Museum">British Museum</a>, having been acquired via antiquities dealers from unknown excavations undertaken during the 19th century.

<p>The chronicles are thought to have been transferred to the <a href="British_Museum" title="British Museum">British Museum</a> after 19th century excavations in Babylon, and subsequently left undeciphered in the archives for decades. The first chronicle to be published was BM 92502 (ABC1) in 1887 by <a href="Theophilus_Pinches" title="Theophilus Pinches">Theophilus Pinches</a> under the title "The Babylonian Chronicle."

K.Grayson. His book Assyrian and Babylonian Chronicles (ABC) is the starting point of any study undertaken on the topic. It assembled a variety of chronographic texts, including Assyrian chronicles and other writings which may not belong to the ill-defined chronicle genre (see below)… About forty-five Babylonian chronicles are now known. This includes the twenty-four texts published by Grayson in Assyrian and Babylonian Chronicles and several new additions. The exact number is unclear because the genre is ill-defined… Most chronicles are preserved on clay tablets retrieved from Iraqi soil during illicit diggings at the end of the nineteenth century. In the corpus presented by Grayson, only three chronicles (in most of their copies) are provenanced, but these texts are atypical and their attribution to the chronicle genre is disputed… Despite the lack of formal provenance, most chronicles are regarded as products of the city of Babylon.</q></cite></span>
