Healing Magic and Evil Demons (Die Babylonisch-assyrische Medizin in Texten Und Untersuchungen)

This book brings together ancient manuscripts of the large compendium of Mesopotamian exorcistic incantations known as Udug-hul (Utukku Lemnutu), directed against evil demons, ghosts, gods, and other demonic malefactors within the Mesopotamian view of the world. It allows for a more accurate appraisal of variants arising from a text tradition spread over more than two millennia and from many ancient libraries.
