Special attention is given to a text from late-5th-century Uruk, which is argued to be an important representative of this new approach to the healing arts, previously only known from Greek and medieval astrology. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 Medicine, Assyro-Babylonian.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85083118 650 0 Astrology, Assyro-Babylonian.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh85008897 650 0 Medical astrology.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85082869 650 7 Medicine, Assyro-Babylonian.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1015195 650 7 Astrology, Assyro-Babylonian.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/819453 650 7 Medical astrology.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1013741 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGeller, Markham J.|tMelothesia in Babylonia.|z9781614517757|z1614517754|w(DLC) 2014036387 830 0 Science, technology, and medicine in ancient cultures ; |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2013058586|vv. 2. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=935389|zOnline eBook.
