I have a question about a certain document, it's called Magical Means of Dealing with Ghosts in Mesopotamia, and, I think, it's PHD thesis, I first heard about it here on Enenuru (but, I just can't seem to find the thread I read it in), this sounds like something I really want to read, but, does anyone know if you can get it as a PDF, or download, at all?, I would really appreciate any help you can give me.
David.

davidI think you're looking for the University of Chicago doctoral dissertation "Magical Means of Dealing with Ghosts in Ancient Mesopotamia" by J. A. Scurlock. An excerpt has been published in Journal of the American Oriental Society Vol. 108: " A Ghostly Light on bīt rimki?". I'll see if I can get access to these - will let you know asap.

It has been revised and published as Magico-Medical Means of Treating Ghost-Induced Illness in Ancient Mesopotamia Studies in Ancient Magic and Divination - SAMD 3 www.eisenbrauns.com/wconnect/wc.dll?ebGate~EIS~~I~SCUMAGICOBetter off looking at that. Pretty expensive though, see if your local university has a copy. |
