An especially significant branch of this literature centres upon witchcraft. Mesopotamian anti-witchcraft rituals and incantations attribute ill-health and misfortune to the magic machinations of witches and prescribe ceremonies, devices, and treatments for dispelling witchcraft, destroying the witch, and protecting and curing the patient. The \u003ci\u003eCorpus of Mesopotamian Anti-Witchcraft Rituals\u003c\/i\u003e aims to present a reconstruction of this body of texts; it provides critical editions of the relevant rituals and prescriptions based on the study of the cuneiform tablets and fragments recovered from the libraries of ancient Mesopotamia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Greta Van Buylaere, Mikko Luukko\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004416242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004416246\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.60h x 8.70w x 0.60d","brand":"Greta Van Buylaere","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46292980760831,"sku":"9789004416246","price":139.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e824bae6-ef18-433b-96c0-c003044c4c8a.jpg?v=1730210736","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/corpus-of-mesopotamian-anti-witchcraft-rituals-greta-van-buylaere-9789004416246","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
