BOOK
Providing a comprehensive examination of the traits and areas of
authority Ancient Babylonians attributed to their healing
goddess, this book draws on a wide range of Sumero-Akkadian
cuneiform sources, including god lists, literary compositions
lexical lists, prognostic texts, incantations, and prescriptions
Analysing the use of selected metaphors associated with the
goddess, a new perspective is offered on the explanation for
disease as well as the motivation for particular treatments
Special chapters deal with the cuneiform handbook on prognosis
and diagnosis of diseases, medical incantations appealing to the
healing goddess, and the medicinal plants attributed to her. For
the first time a body of evidence for the use of simple drugs is
brought together, elaborating on specific plant profiles. The
result is a volume that challenges many long-held assumptions
concerning the specialized cuneiform medical literature and takes
a fresh look on the nature of Ancient Babylonian healing
