Bodies of Knowledge in Ancient Mesopotamia by Matthew Rutz

In Bodies of Knowledge in Ancient Mesopotamia Matthew Rutz investigates how libraries and archives can be used to study ancient diviners, an approach illustrated using one family's cuneiform tablet collection from Emar on the Syrian Euphrates (ca. 1375-1175 BCE).
Matthew Rutz, Ph.D. (2008), University of Pennsylvania, is Assistant Professor of Assyriology in the Department of Egyptology and Ancient Western Asian Studies at Brown University. His research focuses on divination, medicine, historiography, and scholarship in the ancient Near East.
