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. 606 $aRELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / Old Testament$2bisacsh 607 $aIraq$zNineveh (Extinct city)$2fast 607 $aNineveh/Ninos$2pleiades 607 $aMesopotamia (region)$2pleiades 608 $aSources.$2fast 608 $aTexts.$2fast 610 $aCuneiform medicine. 610 $aMesopotamian therapy. 610 $aeye disease. 610 $aophthalmology. 615 7$aRELIGION / Biblical Criticism & Interpretation / Old Testament. 676 $a610.935 700 $aGeller$b Markham J.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0315054 702 $aBiggs$b Robert D.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aKöcher$b Franz$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPanayotov$b Strahil V.$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 712 02$aEuropean Research Council (ERC)$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910424623703321 996 $aDie babylonisch-assyrische Medizin in Texten und Untersuchungen$92177365 997 $aUNINA
