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. 410 0$aCulture and history of the ancient Near East ;$vv. 67. 606 $aHealing gods 606 $aMedicine, Assyro-Babylonian 615 0$aHealing gods. 615 0$aMedicine, Assyro-Babylonian. 676 $a291.213 700 $aBock$b Barbara$0674406 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910821416903321 996 $aThe healing goddess Gula$93998305 997 $aUNINA
