Description
In spite of an abundance of primary sources, the study of the history of medicine in ancient Near Eastern cultures has never gained as much attention as other genres and texts concerning those cultures. Thus, most of the material is published in copies of the cuneiform texts but not as transcripts or translations, making it hard to access for a broader range of scholars. In recent years, however, the research project BabMed (Babylonische Medizin, 2013–2018), funded by the European Research Council, has focused on editing and publishing those tablets. The book presented here is part of its output.
