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:

    I also like that you included direct links to the primary materials and parallels (CDLI, BabMed, and the related references) right at the start of Week 1, it saves a ton of time for anyone trying to follow along.

    This kind of clear structure honestly reminds me of good web design grand rapids work: when everything is organized and easy to navigate, more people participate, and they stick with it.

When you perform a NSFAS status check, you may see different progress messages such as “Application Submitted,” “Filtering,” “Validation,” “Provisionally Funded,” “Funding Eligible,” or “Payments Processing.” Each status reflects a specific stage of your application, from initial submission to final funding and allowance disbursement.
