Fermenting Vat, Childbirth and Dreckapotheke: A School Incantatory-Medical Tablet
Original language description
The paper offers an edition of an unpublished cuneiform tablet inscribed with two Sumerian incantations against internal and gynecological ailments caused by "gall", and a short Akkadian medical recipe to cure several internal diseases. The comparatively unusual content, structure and orthography of all three texts indicate that the tablet may have originated as a scribal exercise in matters magico-medical. The tablet contains important new evidence of medical knowledge in early 2nd millennium BC Mesopotamia.
