The Abu Habba Cylinder is a clay cylinder inscribed with cuneiform script that was discovered in the ancient city of Sippar in modern-day Iraq. The cylinder contains a royal proclamation by Nabuna'id, in which he describes his efforts to restore the temple of the moon god Sin in the city of Harran.

He also explores the broader historical and cultural context of the Babylonian empire, providing insights into the political, social, and religious structures of this ancient civilization. Overall, The Abu Habba Cylinder of Nabuna'id is a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient Mesopotamia, providing a detailed and nuanced understanding of one of the most important historical documents from this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
