Furthermore, a text related to calming an infant or a child from Kiṣir-Aššur’s šamallû mašmaššu ṣeḫru-phase is used to suggest that he acquired healing competences related to children. This chapter therefore discusses KiṣirAššur’s possible involvement in healing infants and considers the general theories on infant and child healing in relation to Kiṣir-Aššur’s previous tablets. Texts from Kiṣir-Aššur’s nephew, Kiṣir-Nabû, are used to contextualize and discuss Kiṣir-Aššur’s manuscripts from his šamallû mašmaššu ṣeḫruand mašmaššu ṣeḫru-phases. Furthermore, Kiṣir-Aššur’s tablets labelled as uʾiltus are also discussed in general. Additionally, this chapter examines Kiṣir-Aššur’s use of the phrase “(he) whose trust is Nabû” (ša Nabû tuklasssu) in colophons from his šamallû ṣeḫru and šamallû mašmaššu ṣeḫru phases, as well as on tablets without titles.

By then, Kiṣir-Aššur is assumed to have completed his primary education and begun a process of specialization (cf. Gesche 2001: 210 and its review in George 2003–04 and Veldhuis 2003). He must therefore already have undergone the education necessary for him to acquire basic reading and writing skills for various subgenres of āšipūtu. Supposedly, students of any craft were not adults (Gesche 2001: 219; Cohen and Kedar 2011: 240; Kedar 2014: 540). We can only estimate the years spent during education through comparative material, and suggestions for the age at which students began their education range from five (Waetzoldt 1974: 9) to 14–15 years of age (Gehlken 2005: 102, 106 and note 25; Cohen and Kedar 2011: 240–41 with further references).1 The length of a complete education may have been as much as ten years (Wiggermann 2008: 211; Waetzoldt 1989: 38), but in the Book of Daniel the education of an astrologer is three years.2 In the MA period, two brothers likely had the ṭupšarru ṣeḫru title for at least three years (Jakob 2003: 257). Apprentices probably trained through (competitive) teamwork under the tutelage of a senior colleague or family member.3 Although the šamallû ṣeḫru phase is Kiṣir-Aššur’s earliest attested phase, he was already copying complicated medical knowledge. This could indicate that the Bāba-šuma-ibni family did not follow the later Babylonian educational phases established by Gesche, but instead utilized a curriculum targeted at training practical skills.

Based on the discussion of Kiṣir-Aššur’s surviving tablets in the preceding chapters, this chapter discusses KiṣirAššur’s overall text production to contextualize what he copied and used in relation to the scholarly textual traditions of his time. The first section investigates Kiṣir-Aššur’s medical focuses in his healing texts. The following section provides a discussion of Kiṣir-Aššur’s extracts (nisḫus). Kiṣir-Aššur produced a number of extracts, and these are found especially among tablets from his mašmaš bīt Aššur-phase and tablets that cannot be assigned to a specific phase. These extract texts are first discussed in relation to statements in the colophons that designate them as extracts from writing-boards. Other extracts were supplied with numbers and were likely organized. These numbered extracts are discussed in relation to their numbering, their possible organization, and their function. Afterwards follows an investigation of the use of incipits, catch-lines in colophons, and duplicate passages in Kiṣir-Aššur’s texts in relation to the therapeutic series šumma amēlu muḫḫašu umma ukāl “If the crown of a man’s head is feverish” (Ugu), known from contemporary Nineveh, and the so-called “Assur Medical Catalogue”, an Assur catalogue of text incipits possibly related to a recension of the Ugu series. This analysis examines to what extent KiṣirAššur drew on a recension of the therapeutic series and navigated according to its incipits. This chapter also addresses Kiṣir-Aššur’s text production in relation to the Exorcist’s Manual. Finally, Kiṣir-Aššur’s textual production is contextualized in the light of the scholarly traditions of Assur, his manuscripts derived from the Gula temple in Assur, and the N4 collection’s connection to the Nineveh text collections.","PeriodicalId":270949,"journal":{"name":"Medicine in Ancient Assur","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125481772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three groups of tablets are distinguished among these manuscripts. The first and second groups comprise medical and ritual texts respectively, of which a substantial portion are designated as extracts (nisḫu, see below). Furthermore, a third group of texts possibly relates to Kiṣir-Aššur’s affiliation with the Aššur temple, as witnessed by his title. What follows provides an overview of the text groups copied by Kiṣir-Aššur during his mašmaš bīt Aššur-phase, a discussion of his title mašmaš bīt Aššur, and a description of the individual texts in each group. Specific features are also investigated. Kiṣir-Aššur copied and possibly formulated several prescriptions labelled as “tested prescriptions” (bulṭu latku) during this period. These are analysed in relation to the predominantly medical texts, together with at least one possible panacea, i.e., a universal drug. The present chapter also discusses Kiṣir-Aššur’s duties in connection to the Aššur temple. The career phase “exorcist of the Aššur temple” (mašmaš bīt Aššur) is the last identifiable phase to which Kiṣir-Aššur, his brother Šamaš-ibni and their father Nabû-bēssunu progressed. The title mašmaš bīt Aššur could therefore mark the pinnacle of Kiṣir-Aššur’s career (see Maul 2010a: 206–208, 210–11). All of the texts in Table 15, except for PKTA pl. 39–40, are explicitly stated as deriving from his mašmaš bīt Aššur phase. The number of Kiṣir-Aššur’s texts with colophons, especially medical and ritual texts, increases markedly during his mašmaššu-phase and even more so in his mašmaš bīt Aššur-phase. The texts written by Kiṣir-Aššur as mašmaš bīt Aššur attest to a variety of subjects, including: prescriptions against illnesses, a number of more broadly defined rituals against ghosts, witchcraft and evils, three namburbi-rituals, and a group of texts associated with the Aššur temple. Of Kiṣir-Aššur’s eight medical healing texts that he copied as mašmaš bīt Aššur, at least six were copied with a purpose statement that emphasizes their practical dimension.1 It is worth noting that several of his medical texts from this phase concern internal illnesses (see Section 9.1).
