520    "In Medicine in Ancient Assur Troels Pank Arbøll offers a 
       microhistorical study of a single exorcist named Kiṣir-
       Aššur who practiced medical and magical healing in the 
       ancient city of Assur (modern northern Iraq) in the 7th 
       century BCE. The book provides the first detailed analysis
       of a healer's education and practice in ancient 
       Mesopotamia based on at least 73 texts assigned to 
       specific stages of his career. By drawing on a 
       microhistorical framework, the study aims at significantly
       improving our understanding of the functional aspects of 
       texts in their specialist environment. Furthermore, the 
       work situates Kiṣir-Aššur as one of the earliest healers 
       in world history for whom we have such details pertaining 
       to his career originating from his own time"--|cProvided
