We start with the first chapter or tablet of the first treatise in the Assur Medical Catalogue. We will try to assemble some key materials for CRANIUM 1, leading up to October 1st. Thanks to the efforts of a number of different scholars over the years, but most recently the BabMed team, in particular Ulrike Steinert, we now have a comprehensive edition of the Assur Medical Catalogue (AMC) here:

On p. 209, in the second line, is the first incipit, which corresponds to the first tablet/chapter of CRANIUM. It is entirely reconstructed in AMC, but reads as follows: [DIŠ NA UGU-šu2 KUM2 u2-kal]. The rest of the line, which is only partially reconstructed, corresponds to the second tablet.
On p. 286, we have the table of sources, which for Nineveh, lists the following: BAM 480, BAM 4, BAM 481 and AMT 5/3. But no transliteration of BAM 480 on the BabMed website as yet. The most recent edition of CRANIUM 1 is found in Martin Worthington’s contribution in JMC 5.
Dear all,
the following sources might also be of importance:
– AMT 3/4 + BAM 488. An important fragment, which appears to be a physical join to the first two columns of BAM 480 (s. Panayotov in JMC 27).
– AMT 32/4. The fragment should correspond to BAM 480 ii 55-64.
Also, CRANIUM 1 was republished in Scurlock Sourcebook pp. 306ff.
Thank you for sharing these additional references. It’s extremely helpful to know that AMT 3/4 + BAM 488 physically joins with the initial lines of BAM 480, as noted by Panayotov. The cross-reference with AMT 32/4 for column ii (55–64) of BAM 480 also provides much-needed clarity for those reconstructing the text. Updates like this really support ongoing comparative work in the field. And after a long session of working through tablets and joins, sometimes a quick [url=https://trafficridermodapk.me/]android game[/url] break can really recharge the mind.
