This volume presents editions of several catalogues and inventories of texts belonging to the corpora of ancient Mesopotamian healing and divination specialists. As a milestone for future studies into Mesopotamian medicine, the book includes the first complete edition of the Assur Medical Catalogue, an eighth or seventh century BCE list of therapeutic texts, which forms a core witness for the formation of medical compendia in the first millennium BCE. The editions are complemented by detailed studies that analyse the relations between catalogues, textual sources and the development of serialised compendia, unravelling a complex history of medical text corpora and healing disciplines in second and first millennium BCE Mesopotamia. Through its novel corpus-based approach, this book will alter the current understanding of Mesopotamian medical texts and the specialisations of the "exorcist" and "physician". The research presented here allows one to identify core text corpora for these disciplines, as well as areas of exchange and borrowing between them.
