Part One follows a diachronic approach, Part Two a synchronic one. In this sense, the studies are to be viewed broadly: while unravelling knots in individual texts, they highlight certain issues and exemplify some solutions for common problems in traditional Mesopotamian therapeutic literature."--Provided by publisher Notes Edition statement from online full metadata page "With the exception of the second preface, this edition remains unchanged from the original."--Publishers' preface "Open access edition funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities/Andrew W.
