Containing twenty prescriptions, the Neo- or Late-Babylonian tablet edited here is one of the most comprehensive sources for the phylacteries against fever. Although a duplicate of the whole text is yet unknown to me, several parallels or text variants of the single prescriptions can be identified in the published and unpuplished medical tablets from A9sur and Ninive. In the present paper I transliterate and translate the tablet, with special attention to the fever prescriptions and their parallels?

The ancient Near Eastern demon Sāmānu is described as a human disease in Mesopotamian documents. There exist numerous magical and medicinal textual sources, which are very descriptive of his nature. Described as a skin disease, Sāmānu is always associated in the cuneiform tablets with specific parts of the human body. The tablets identify symptoms and prognosis. This article offers a deeper insight into the medical-magical sources describing the demon as a human disease, and suggests possible identifications of this disease in modern medicine.

This "article romancé" interprets the clinical section of the Assyrian text BAM I-234 in psychiatric terms, arguing that it describes a melancholic state with delusions of ruin and persecution. From this interpretation, the question arises of whether the words of the insane were regarded as omens.

This paper discusses the peculiar disease condition of "locked fluids" found in a number of gynaecological texts from 2nd and 1st millennium BCE Mesopotamia. To venture an interpretation of the underlying disease concept, the condition of "locked fluids" is first examined in the context of related and contrasting symptoms and female health problems connected to body fluids within the gynaecological corpus. The second part of this article turns to the physiological concepts of the (female) body linked to the disease condition of "locked fluids". The author highlights metaphors and comparisons with objects from daily life and the natural environment, which can be found in medical incantations and therapeutic rituals used to combat gynaecological disorders, as a key to indigenous concepts of physiology. The use of the same metaphors in connection with intestinal disorders points to an intuitive understanding of different processes within the body on the basis of comparisons and equations stemming from daily-life experiences. The last section presents similar notions to the Mesopotamian disease concept of "locked fluids", which are contained in gynaecological treatises of other cultures and times.
