Clay cylindrical amulets bearing readings, tools of the medical-magical world

Summary/Abstract: Our study discusses a specific group of Mesopotamian medical-magical amulets. These are cylindrical clay objects inscribed with incantations that often mention the names of their owners. Our paper aims to collect all such objects to classify and analyse them based on their origins and archaeological contexts and the texts written on them; furthermore, we discuss medical-magical rituals mentioning the use of these amulets. In our study, in addition, we present the research history of these objects and name their owners. The studied incantations can also be found on stone amulets and cylinder seals collected in an appendix at the end of the paper.
