Notes on the Assur Medical Catalogue with Comparison to the Nineveh Medical Encyclopaedia

Abstract

For different article issues, I am thankful to BabMed members, to participants of the BabMed Workshop 1 (Berlin, 12-14 October 2014), and to colleagues' comments during the conference Sources of Evil (Würzburg, 15-17 April 2015).Special thanks are due to Mark Geller and Eugene Trabich for proofreading and discussions, and to Robert Biggs and Marten Stol for suggestions and corrections.1 The song catalogue KAR 158 lists many lost works, see Groneberg 2003: 70.For the importance of catalogues see Krecher 1976-80; Shehata 2009: 10; Koch 2015: 165. 2 Bold Roman capital numbers with labels (e.g.II EYES) or lines (e.g.l. 127) refer to the AMC edition.3 The gloss, he-pí "broken", indicates that the manuscript is a faithful copy from a master tablet, see Frahm 2011: 16, 33, 319. 4 Finkel (2004: 26) suggests that medical texts from the 1 st millennium are "dinosaurs" of older times.5 For the term "magico-medical", and "healing magic", see Couto-Ferreira 2015: 187-88; Geller 2016: 27-31.
