Description
Summary:Franz Köchers standard work on Babylonian and Assyrian medicine, which was designed to provide copies of the texts with translation and commentary, had remained unfinished at his death in 2002. Six volumes of transcriptions with short introductory comments and quotes of parallels and duplicates were available. The publication of the series is now continued with Robert Biggs and Marten Stol as new publishers. The new volumes contain complete translations and philological commentary, making current Babylonian-Assyrian medical texts accessible to medical historians.
Franz Köchers Standardwerk zur Babylonischen und Assyrischen Medizin, das darauf angelegt war, Kopien der Texte mit Übersetzung und Kommentar vorzulegen, war bei seinem Tod 2002 unvollendet geblieben. Sechs Bände Umschriften mit jeweils kurzen einführenden Kommentaren und Zitaten von Parallelen und Duplikaten lagen vor. Die Publikation der Reihe wird nun mit Robert Biggs und Marten Stol als neuen Herausgebern fortgesetzt. Die neuen Bände enthalten vollständige Übersetzungen und philologische Kommentare und machen damit in aktuellen Untersuchungen die Babylonisch-Assyrischen Medizintexte für Medizinhistoriker zugänglich.
