Assyrian and Babylonian Scholarly Text Catalogues: Medicine, Magic and Divination

This volume presents philological editions of catalogues and inventories of texts belonging to the corpora of ancient Mesopotamian healing and divination specialists. The editions are complemented by detailed studies that analyse the relations between catalogues, textual sources and the development of serialised compendia, unravelling a complex history of medical text corpora and healing disciplines in 2nd and 1st millennium BCE Mesopotamia.
