Abstract

Asclépios et Hippocrate sont tous deux associés à l'art médical dans la Grèce antique. Cependant, l'un appartient au monde des dieux et l'autre est mortel. La distinction est d'importance et reflète adéquatement les deux conceptions de la médecine que ces noms portent en eux, l'une généralement qualifiée de « religieuse » et l'autre de « rationnelle ». Ces deux facettes de la médecine antique sont au cœur de la présente étude, qui s'attache à en redéfinir la portée et la complémentarité. Centrée sur la Carie, une région d'Asie Mineure qui a livré une documentation abondante, l'analyse aborde les cultes guérisseurs patronnés par Asclépios, mais aussi par Pluton et Coré à Acharaca, Men à Attouda ou encore Hémithéa à Castabos. Quant aux médecins, ils formaient une « école » célèbre à Cnide dès la période classique et à Laodicée du Lycos à l'époque impériale, mais certains d'entre eux pratiquaient de manière indépendante de toute « secte » établie. En embrassant d'un même regard des pratiques dont l'étude est souvent éclatée dans les recherches modernes, ce livre offre une vision nuancée des interactions qui existaient entre cultes guérisseurs et pratique médicale, rendant à la médecine antique l'unité qui était la sienne.

Abstract

Providing a comprehensive examination of the traits and areas of authority Ancient Babylonians attributed to their healing goddess, this book draws on a wide range of Sumero-Akkadian cuneiform sources, including god lists, literary compositions, lexical lists, prognostic texts, incantations, and prescriptions. Analysing the use of selected metaphors associated with the goddess, a new perspective is offered on the explanation for disease as well as the motivation for particular treatments. Special chapters deal with the cuneiform handbook on prognosis and diagnosis of diseases, medical incantations appealing to the healing goddess, and the medicinal plants attributed to her. For the first time a body of evidence for the use of simple drugs is brought together, elaborating on specific plant profiles. The result is a volume that challenges many long-held assumptions concerning the specialized cuneiform medical literature and takes a fresh look on the nature of Ancient Babylonian healing.

Abstract

This volume exposes one of the world's oldest medical marketplaces and the emergence of medical professionalization within it. Through an unprecedented analysis of the Mesopotamian healing goddesses as well as asûs, a diverse group of "healers", Irene Sibbing-Plantholt demonstrates that from the Middle Babylonian period onwards, the goddess Gula was employed as a divine legitimization model for scholarly, professional asûs. With this work, Sibbing-Plantholt provides a unique insight in processes of medical competition and legitimization in ancient Mesopotamia, which speak to similar processes in other societies.

Abstract

In recent years the study of miraculous images has experienced a substantial re-evaluation of their importance as powerful agents of divine intercession and assistance in Renaissance society. Nonetheless, aspects related to the genesis, devotional use and preferences of these images remain only broadly outlined and geographically constrained. In parallel with the great veneration for miracle-performing Marian and Christological imagery, other saintly figures became the objects of widespread devotion on account of their protective and curative powers, and the images of these saints became cult objects themselves.0This volume fills a void in current art historical research and examines how miraculous images and the imagery of healing saints were crucial to the creation of individual, corporate and collective identities in Florence, Siena, Rome, Naples and other lesser researched Italian centres. The essays in this collection address aspects related to the development of hagiographies, iconographies, cult of relics, and devotion of healing saints. Moreover, it considers imagery related to miraculous events also in terms of material culture in the private and public domains. The images will therefore be studied both as aesthetic objects and as cult objects, in order to interrogate the often tense relationship between mechanical vision and cultural visuality. While dealing with specific curative, protective, and miraculous episodes related to the exposition of sacred images, this book unravels questions of patronage, authorship, agency, and tradition.
