Recently Scurlock and Andersen 1 published an important compilation of Mesopotamian diagnoses from clay tablets of the major collections of the world, some of which were translated by Professor Scurlock for the first time. In chapter 9, 'Eyes, Ears and Nose', p. 206, there is a description of what the authors refer to as 'Menière's Syndrome' from a clay tablet in the British Museum (BAM 214 i 1-9). Like many others, it appears to date from the time of the Assyrian King A urbanipal (668-627 BCE), although it may be significantly older.
Is this the earliest description of Menière's disorder?

Abstract
Recently Scurlock and Andersen 1 published an important compilation of Mesopotamian diagnoses from clay tablets of the major collections of the world, some of which were translated by Professor Scurlock for the first time. In chapter 9, 'Eyes, Ears and Nose', p. 206, there is a description of what the authors refer to as 'Menière's Syndrome' from a clay tablet in the British Museum (BAM 214 i 1-9). Like many others, it appears to date from the time of the Assyrian King A urbanipal (668-627 BCE), although it may be significantly older.File in questo prodotto:
