The book provides the first detailed analysis of a healer's education and practice in ancient Mesopotamia based on at least 73 texts assigned to specific stages of his career. By drawing on a microhistorical framework, the study aims at significantly improving our understanding of the functional aspects of texts in their specialist environment. Furthermore, the work situates Kiṣir-Assur as one of the earliest healers in world history for whom we have such details pertaining to his career originating from his own time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Troels Pank Arbøll\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004436073\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004436077\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 432\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Troels Pank Arbøll","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46292989935871,"sku":"9789004436077","price":144.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f800a2a-d52b-4f4d-aa4d-fe871b4e4770.jpg?v=1730210765","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/medicine-in-ancient-assur-troels-pank-arbzull-9789004436077","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
