This volume presents a comprehensive edition of cuneiform texts from the first millennium BCE concerned with women's health issues. The book, which includes numerous hitherto unpublished tablets, contains diagnostic and therapeutic texts, ranging from medical prescriptions to incantations, rituals and fertility tests. Selected texts from the second millennium BCE as well as scholarly commentaries on diagnostic or therapeutic texts from the first millennium BCE are also included in the volume.
