Due to the combined problems of an extinct language, gaps in the archeological record, the complexities of pharmacy and medicine, and the dispersion of ancient tablets throughout the museums of the world, it has been nearly impossible to get a clear and comprehensive view of what medicine was really like in ancient Mesopotamia.The collaboration of medical expert Burton R. Andersen and cuneiformist JoAnn Scurlock makes it finally possible to survey this collected corpus and discern magic from experimental medicine in Ashur, Babylon, and Nineveh. Diagnoses in Assyrian and Babylonian Medicine is the first systematic study of all the available texts, which together reveal a level of medical knowledge not matched again until the nineteenth century A.D. Over the course of a millennium, these nations were able to develop tests, prepare drugs, and encourage public sanitation. Their careful observation and recording of data resulted in a description of symptoms so precise as to enable modern identification of numerous diseases and afflictions. 606 $aMedicine, Assyro-Babylonian 615 0$aMedicine, Assyro-Babylonian. 676 $a610/.935 700 $aScurlock$b Jo Ann$f1953-$0845934 701 $aAndersen$b Burton R.$f1932-$01809548 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959391203321 996 $aDiagnoses in Assyrian and Babylonian medicine$94360395 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03076nam 2200697Ia 450 001 9910955977203321 005 20251117081013.0 010 $a9786613601131 010 $a9781280571534 010 $a1280571535 010 $a9780300148664 010 $a0300148666 024 7 $a10.12987/9780300148664 035 $a(CKB)2670000000176443 035 $a(EBL)3420815 035 $a(OCoLC)923597626 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000647098 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11434959 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000647098 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10593100 035 $a(PQKB)10762491 035 $a(DE-B1597)484908 035 $a(OCoLC)784958104 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780300148664 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3420815 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10551211 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL360113 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3420815 035 $a(Perlego)1089318 035 $z(OCoLC)784958104 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000176443 100 $a20110907d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$a"Partly laws common to all mankind" $eforeign law in American courts /$fJeremy Waldron 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aNew Haven $cYale University$dc2012 215 $a1 online resource (304 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a9780300148657 311 08$a0300148658 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $tFrontmatter -- $tContents -- $tAcknowledgments -- $tCases -- $tAbbreviations -- $t1.

In this book Jeremy Waldron explores some ideas in jurisprudence and legal theory that could underlie the Supreme Court's occasional recourse to foreign law, especially in constitutional cases. He argues that every society is governed not only by its own laws but partly also by laws common to all mankind (ius gentium). But he takes the unique step of arguing that this common law is not natural law but a grounded consensus among all nations. The idea of such a consensus will become increasingly important in jurisprudence and public affairs as the world becomes more globalized. 606 $aLaw$zUnited States$xForeign influences 606 $aConstitutional history$zUnited States 615 0$aLaw$xForeign influences. 615 0$aConstitutional history 676 $a349.73 686 $aML 5740$2rvk 700 $aWaldron$b Jeremy$0263108 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910955977203321 996 $a"Partly laws common to all mankind"$94355970 997 $aUNINA
