Mellon Foundation Humanities Open Book Program."--T.p. verso; "Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-No Derivatives 4.0 International License."--T.p. verso N2 - "The studies in this volume focus on individual Babylonian magical texts while developing an overall understanding of these texts as a whole. 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 UR - https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.2307/j.ctvzpv5v4 ER -
