The first of three posts, entitled “Like an alien in a strange old world – Reading Mesopotamian cuneiform texts on women’s healthcare” has been released on the research blog “The Recipes Project: Food, Magic, Science, and Medicine”. This amazing blog, initiated by Elaine Leong (Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin) and by Lisa Smith (University of Saskatchewan, College of Arts and Science) is a treasure chest with contributions investigating a broad range of topics, related to the diverse aspects of recipes in history and culture, from antiquity to the early modern period.
