520    In Early Mesopotamian Divination Literature: Its 
       Organizational Framework and Generative and Paradigmatic 
       Characteristics, Abraham Winitzer provides a detailed 
       study of the Akkadian Old Babylonian (ca. 2000-1600 BC) 
       omen collections stemming from extispicy, the most 
       significant Mesopotamian divination technique for most of 
       that civilization's history. Paying close attention to 
       these texts' organizational structure, Winitzer details 
       the mechanics responsible for their origins and 
       development, and highlights key characteristics of a 
       conceptual framework that helped reconfigure Mesopotamian 
       divination into a literature in line with significant, new
       forms of literary expression from the same time. This 
       literature, Winitzer concludes, represents an early form 
       of scientific reasoning that began to appreciate the 
       centrality of texts and textual interpretation in this 
       civilization's production, organization, and conception of
       knowledge.
