The eleven contributions to the volume derive from a panel held at the American Oriental Society in 2013 and cover more than three millennia of historical development, ranging from Babylonian medicine and astronomy to the persistence of Mesopotamian lore in Syriac and Arabic meditations on the properties of animals. The volume also includes major contributions on the history of Mesopotamian ?rationality,? epistemic labels for tested and tried remedies, and the development of depersonalized case histories in Babylonian therapeutic compendia. Together, these studies offer an overview of several important moments in the development of non-Western scientific thinking and a significant contribution to our understanding of how traditions of technical knowledge were produced and transmitted in the ancient world. 410 0$aScience, technology, and medicine in ancient cultures ;$vVolume 3. 606 $aScience$zIraq$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aTechnology$zIraq$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aScientific literature$zIraq$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTechnical literature$zIraq$xHistory and criticism 606 $aReference books$zIraq$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aEmpiricism in literature 606 $aSemitic literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMultilingualism and literature$zIraq$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aLearning and scholarship$zIraq$xHistory$yTo 1500 607 $aIraq$xIntellectual life 615 0$aScience$xHistory 615 0$aTechnology$xHistory 615 0$aScientific literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTechnical literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aReference books$xHistory 615 0$aEmpiricism in literature. 615 0$aSemitic literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMultilingualism and literature$xHistory 615 0$aLearning and scholarship$xHistory 676 $a509.35 686 $aEL 7980$2rvk 702 $aJohnson$b Justin Cale$f1971- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910341840903321 996 $aIn the wake of the compendia$91399372 997 $aUNINA
