Reading schedule for October 2018 and Week 1

One of the goals of the Rereading BabMed Blog is to encourage the far-flung network of people who are interested in Babylonian medicine to read through the corpus together, even if they cannot meet in person. In order to keep things simple, let’s try to read through a column per week. For a normally formatted Assurbanipal Library tablet, we might expect 60-70 lines per column, with four columns per tablet. So, one column (or its equivalent in fragmentary contexts) per week comes to roughly 10 lines per day, and if all goes well, we should make it through a tablet every month. So for the month of October that means BAM 480 and duplicates (= CRANIUM 1). I’ll try to post the necessary links to primary sources and available editions each week and, hopefully, we can find some interesting passages to discuss on the blog.

Week 1 — Oct 1-7 — BAM 480, column 1, and duplicates

A photo and Köcher’s handcopy are available on CDLI: https://cdli.ucla.edu/P365742

The BabMed page has the basic parallels and hopefully we’ll be able to get a transliteration there soon as well: http://www.geschkult.fu-berlin.de/e/babmed/Corpora/BAM-5/BAM-5_-480/index.html

For the first column the main parallels are: BAM 1, 3 — BAM 1, 4BAM 1, 12 — the „Jastrow“ Tablet and ND 44506/16. As Krisztian Simko pointed out in a earlier comment, before diving in, we should all have a look at a couple of recent contributions to JMC 27 and 28 from Strahil Panayotov, available at his academia.com page:

JoAnn Scurlock’s collations of the „Jastrow Tablet“ are available on the JMC page under the year 2003 (= JMC 2): http://medecinescuneiformes.fr/?page_id=15

  1. This initiative to read through one column per week is a fantastic way to build a collaborative community around Babylonian medical texts, even across different countries and institutions. The links to CDLI, BabMed, and the recent JMC references are extremely useful for anyone wanting to follow along in a structured way. I appreciate the way you’ve outlined the schedule and provided key parallels to focus on. After a long day of transliteration and glossing, even researchers deserve a short break — maybe with a quick android game to refresh the mind!

Students are encouraged to review key chapters, take notes, and engage in discussions to strengthen understanding. Just like nsfas status tracking helps monitor academic funding progress, following a structured reading plan ensures steady growth and success throughout the course.

  11. The Social Relief of Distress grant is financial support offered by SASSA to individuals who are struggling to meet their basic needs. Since millions of people apply every month, checking your SRD status is important to know whether your application is approved, pending, or declined.
