This volume is the first complete edition and commentary on Mesopotamian medicine from Nineveh dealing with diseases of the eye. This ancient work, languishing in British Museum archives since the 19th century, is preserved on several large cuneiform manuscripts from the royal library of Ashurbanipal, from the 7th century BC. The longest surviving ancient work on diseased eyes, the text predates by several centuries corresponding Hippocratic treatises. The Nineveh series represents a systematic array of eye symptoms and therapies, also showing commonalities with Egyptian and Greco-Roman medicine. Since scholars of Near Eastern civilizations and ancient and general historians of medicine will need to be familiar with this material, the volume makes this aspect of Babylonian medicine fully accessible to both specialists and non-specialists, with all texts being fully translated into English.RELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / Old TestamentbisacshIraqNineveh (Extinct city)fastNineveh/NinospleiadesMesopotamia (region)pleiadesSources.fastTexts.fastCuneiform medicine.Mesopotamian therapy.eye disease.ophthalmology.RELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / Old Testament.610.935Geller Markham J.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut315054Biggs Robert D.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtKöcher Franzedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtPanayotov Strahil V.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/autEuropean Research Council (ERC)fndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910424623703321Die babylonisch-assyrische Medizin in Texten und Untersuchungen2177365UNINA
