Hymn to Marduk, Medical Cuneiform Tablet
Bildnummer 12635524
| Cuneiform tablet. Hymn to Marduk, 1st millennium B.C. Babylonian or Neo-Babylonian. Proto-cuneiform is the name given to the earliest form of writing -- pictograms that were drawn on clay tablets. Gradually, the pictograms became abstracted into cuneiform (Latin, wedge-shaped) signs that were impressed rather than drawn. At its greatest extent, cuneiform writing was used from the Mediterranean coast of Syria to western Iran and from Hittite Anatolia to southern Mesopotamia. It was adapted to write at least fifteen different languages. This Babylonian tablet contains a hymn to Marduk (also known as Asalluhi), a deity associated with healing. Although physicians (Akkadian asus) treated a variety of medical problems, exorcists (Akkadian ashipus) also played an important role in healing by battling with the malevolent beings held responsible for medical problems through incantations, amulets, and accompanying rituals. | |
