Among the most important sources for understanding the cultures,
religions, and systems of thought of ancient Mesopotamia is the
large corpus of magical and medical texts directed against
witchcraft. The most important of these texts is the Akkadian
series Maqlu ("Burning"). This volume offers a collection of
studies on Mesopotamian witchcraft and Maqlu written subsequent to
the appearance of the author's 2002 collection of studies on
witchcraft (Brill, 2002). Many of the studies reprinted here take a
diachronic approach to individual incantations and rituals and
attempt to solve textual difficulties using literary-critical
and/or text-critical approaches.
