商品簡介
Rather than trying to encompass the enormous breadth of Markham J. Geller's scholarly interests, colleagues, friends, and disciples focus narrowly on scientific, scholarly, and technical knowledge that Cuneiform cultures produced. More specifically they explore the diagnosis and healing of various human physical ailments and mental complaints. Among their topics are Budge's Syriac Book of Medicines after 100 years: problems and prospects, putting theory into practice: Kisir-Assur's expertise between textual knowledge and practical experimentation, at the dawn of plant taxonomy: shared structural design of herbal descriptions in Sammu sikinsu and Theophrastus' Historia plantarum, a time to extract and a time to compile: the therapeutic compendium tablet BM 78963, and Ninmah and her imperfect creatures: the bed-wetting man and remedies to cure enuresis (STT 238).
