The Nineveh Medical Encyclopedia is a 2,600-year-old handbook containing thousands of descriptions of diseases and symptoms, AND it’s currently being translated into English as the NinMed Project, hosted on #Oracc. oracc.museum.upenn.edu/asbp/…

You might have noticed that there are a lot of plants involved in these remedies. The project directors noticed that too! The digital version of this Encyclopedia will allow researchers to assemble an index of all plants and substances used in these texts.

The NinMed project is still a work in progress, but the results of it can tell us a lot about the system of medicine in place long before our own, and even before the Greek healer Hippocrates. You can read more about the project here: blog.britishmuseum.org/ancie…

Check out Dr. Laurie Pearce’s fantastic entry on Judeans in Babylonia! This is a great piece, rich in comments, that explores deportees of Judah living in Babylonia under imperial rule.
