Description

This comprehensive scholarly edition presents the earliest known medical compendium on gastrointestinal ailments from ancient Mesopotamia, based on the Stomach Treatise discovered in Ashurbanipal's royal library at Nineveh. Dating back three millennia, this authoritative text assembles symptom descriptions, drug recipes, incantations, and healing rituals that formed part of the Nineveh Medical Encyclopaedia-the only established source of therapeutic knowledge in that era. This edition includes significant textual improvements derived from direct manuscript examination, offering modern readers unprecedented access to ancient Mesopotamian approaches to treating bile-induced diseases, gastrointestinal disorders, and fever. Published by De Gruyter as part of the Medizin in Texten Und Untersuchungen series, this volume represents essential scholarship for historians of medicine, ancient Near Eastern studies, and those interested in the origins of documented medical practice.
