Chalendar, Vérène. "Quand l’animal soigne… Les utilisations thérapeutiques de l’animal dans le corpus médical cunéiforme assyro-babylonien." Thesis, Paris Sciences et Lettres (ComUE), 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PSLEP022.
Full textThis thesis focuses on the use of animals in Mesopotamian therapeutic practices. It explores the animal used as ingredient for the preparation of medications, as well as the animal, which took part in the healing rituals. The first part reviews the cuneiform sources available for the reconstruction of medical practices and offers an exploration of Mesopotamian fauna through an overview of the taxonomy and the symbolic values attached to animals. It also investigates the practical issues resulting from the use of animals in pharmacopoeia (supply, conservation, methods of implementation etc.). The second part of the study consists in establishing a catalogue of animals encountered in the cuneiform medical texts. It lists and highlights the therapeutic uses of each animal and explores the reasons for their use in specific pathological contexts. The third part is devoted to the cultural and intellectual context in which these scientific Mesopotamian tablets were written. On this occasion, the concepts of “secret” and “encryption” of knowledge are considered. The main interest of this third chapter consists of a presentation and a new proposal for Uruanna = maštakal. This text has been the subject of several assumptions, which question the use of animal ingredients in the pharmacopoeia

Full textFrom the first attempts to decipher cuneiform inscriptions in the XIXth century on, scientists have tried to reconstruct the metrological and numerical systems that were in use within the Ancient Near East. The measuring units from Southern Mesopotamia were then understood as referential points from which the so-called “peripherical areas” units were seen as variations in both absolute value and designation. The Syrian areas however show a deep cultural unity, which cannot be seen as a realisation of the sumero-akkadian center's periphery”, but on the contrary reveals marked dialectal and cultural peculiarities, reflected in the uses of numbers and measurements as they emerge from cuneiform documentation, beside “international” writing conventions. The study yielded three main results, the first of which pertains to the the process that allowed separate fields-measurements, numbers and writing-, all of them having their own dynamics

Full textThis study dedicated to the palaeography of Sumero-Akkadians legal documents from Ras-Shamra-Ougarit, strives most particularly to put a new light on the controversial issue of the "hands of scribes". When one knows that 96% of the documentation on this site is anonymous, one can appreciate its value. The method established from the original numbered tablets manifests characteristics that are proper to the writing of each and shows that the "hands of scribes" are a complex matter. The results obtained were put to testing. They confirm certain hypotheses put forward by researchers and invalidate others, sometimes commonly accepted. Writers of anonymous tablets have been identified, therefore opening new perspectives for future research regarding dating, formation, organization of these scribes and their links with the religious, the economics and the powers in the kingdom of Ougarit of Late Bronze Age

Full textThe textiles belonged to the basic necessities and were also valuable properties in Mesopotamia, during the Ist millenium BS. The purpose of this study is to undersand how the textile fibres were produced, what were the technics of manufacturing of these objects and their various uses in the Babylonian society. The raw materials were partly produced locally and partly imported through long distance trade. The wool, the main textile raw material, came from sheep herds belonging in majority to the institutions (temples and palaces). These institutions were redistributing the wool in the society by the payment of salaries to workers, by sales or exchanges. A lot of people were involved in textile production : professional craftsmen working for the temples or for the urban customers, women working at home for the profit of an institution or for their own family. The "chaîne opératoire" of textile manufacturing was following several steps, and reveals a specialisation of the craftsmen more important than before. The study of the textile terminology in Akkadian shows the diversity of the uses of these objects in the Babylonian society. Clothes were markers of identity. Lastly, the textiles had an economic value. They circulated inside the society through social exchanges and economic transactions. The study of the textiles reveals some fundamental aspects of Babylonia's history during the Ist millenium BC, for instance the openness of its economy to external trade, a craft production decentralised into the hands of individuals and not controlled exclusively by the institutions, and strong social conventions expressed by the apparel

Full textMari, called now Tell Hariri, is located in the extreme south-east of Syria on the middle Euphrates, twelve kilometers north of Abu Kemal. Among the most important discoveries in this site arethe royal archives which contain a corpus of 20,000 tablets written in cuneiform. Letters are the most important part of the archives. What characterizes the letters and makes them very interesting is that one can discover,between the lines,information about the people who wrote these letters and pinpoint their personality or state of mind. The epistolary documents of this study are the result ofan abundant correspondence, spread over two main periods:in the time of Samsi-Addu (1792-1782 BC) and of his son Yasmah-Addu (1782-1775 BC), when the city of Mari was integrated into the kingdom of Upper Mesopotamia,and that of Zimri-Lîm, the last king of Mari in the amorous period (1775-1761 BC). The thesis deals with the correspondence exchanged between the king and the persons who are close to him. The letters can be classified into three groups:family, administrative staff and foreign kings;these people have paternal relations or simple political relations at the level of State. The work proposes a reflection on a part of the society and of the family, administrative, political and economic system of Mari, throughthe study of the relations between the king and his relatives and the place that these relatives can have in this system. For a general idea of the corpus chosenfor our study, see a table in an appendix to the second volume, which gives a description of the relationships between the various interlocutors and the nature of their relationship, as well as characteristics and tone of each letter

Full textParkinsonian patients suffer from disabling sleep disorders, and at an advanced stage gait disorders become resistant to dopaminergic treatment. Evidence from experimental and clinical studies consider the implication of the mesencephalic locomotor region (MLR), associating the pedunculopontine (PPN) and the cuneiform nuclei (CuN). Deep brain stimulation in this regionto treat doparesistant gait disorders in parkinsonian patients, was shown to improve sleep parameters. Dysfunction of this network could explain part of the pathophysiology of these symptoms. In order to have an anatomo-functional study of the PPN and the CuN at normal and parkinsonian state, this project has associated a behavioral axis in monkeys and an anatomic axis in monkeys and humans. Behavioral study. Sleep disorders have been analyzed in an advanced Parkinson disease primate model. These symptoms were improved with dopaminergic treatment and melatonin.After a cholinergic PPN lesion, there was an acute worsening of the symptoms, which improved three weeks after. Anatomic study. We analyzed the connections between the PPN and the CuN relating to the three anatomo-functional territories of the basal ganglia in monkeys and humans. The PPN integrated information from the three territories (sensori-motor, associative and limbic), compared to the CuN which connected to limbic territories. We then studied the subthalamic cholinergic innervation from the PPN at optic and ultra-structural level in monkeys and humans, comparing it with the dopaminergic innervation. Our results showed a homogeneous cholinergic innervation of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) compared to the heterogeneous dopaminergic innervation

Full textThe valley of the Middle Euphrates, hyphen between South Mesopotamia and Western Syria, was ruled by a šakkanakku lived in Mari (Tell Hariri, Syria) during the end of the third millennium and early second millennium. This time period named "šakkanakku-period" is particularly studied since twenty years An overview of archaeological and historical data from the Middle Euphrates valley during the time of šakkanakku suggest that the kingdom of Mari during that time has established itself as a power independent and prosperous until the 19th century (end of the time of šakkanakku) where data are less explicit historically. The new text data from Mari, and Terqa (north of Mari), of the most dated from the end of šakkanakku-period, shows continuance and ruptures between the end of šakkanakku-period and the next period ("Amorite-period"). This continuance and ruptures are examined in several areas such as language, "scribal tradition" or in the legal tradition. The dialect of this text (19th century) shows that linguistic tradition is deeply rooted in the universe Syria. After the advent of the Amorite Yahdun-Lim who ended the time of the šakkanakku the Syrian characteristics in the dialect remains present, but it is less important because a reform of writing modeled on southern Mesopotamia (Iraq current), probably due to the preponderance of political Ešnunna during the end of the 19th century. Finally, this new text has also allowed dealing the historical interaction of the last šakkanakku Mari with condottieri Amorite whose father Yahdun-Lim in the 19th century

Full textThe history of 'Hittite' Anatolia is an important part of the history of the ancient Near East of the second millennium B.C.For a long time after the discovery of the Hittites, the research had focused on the heart of the Hittite Empire. With the exception of the Southeast, the peripheral areas gradually emerge from the shadows. It is in this perspective that this thesis takes place: the relations between the Hittite empire and the political entities situated in the East, whose territory had been considered the cradle of a people of obscure origin : the Armenians.A number of Hittite cuneiform inscriptions have been studies with tha aim of finding traces of the Proto-Armenians in Eastern Anatolia in the second millennium B.C.Our research constituted according to the following plan: Within the framework of the first chapter, we will examine the history of regional philology, including languages. We will present the schools of thought and the methods applied by the great Western and Soviet scholars of the 19th century for the classification of these neighboring regional languages which belong to different linguistic families.In the second chapter, we will study the historical geography of Eastern Anatolia (areas mentioned by Hittite and Armenian sources), considered the cradle of the Armenians.The third chapter was devoted to the comparative study of the Hittite-Armenian vocabulary. In the last chapter (chapter 4), we will present and study the Hittite texts relating to Eastern Anatolia

Full textOtto Neugebauer (1899-1990) and François Thureau-Dangin (1872-1944) are the main pioneers in deciphering mathematical texts written in cuneiform script on clay tablets from Mesopotamia. Inthe 1930s, they engaged in a sort of deciphering race which led to the characteristic state of the domain of the history of cuneiform mathematics : the availability of two different editions of the same texts made at the same time.In line with the historiographical research of the SAW project ("mathematical Sciences in the Ancient World", European Research Council advanced grant 2010, principal investigator: KarineChemla), this thesis aims to use the richness of this material in order to shed light on the ways in which the edition of cuneiform mathematical texts at that time shaped the field of study. The approach adopted here consists in concretely combining the work on the ancient sources while consciously taking into account the historiography of these same sources. The edition of a smallgroup of paleo-Babylonian mathematical texts called the “kibsu texts” is studied from three perspectives : material history of the texts, analysis of the attitude of the editors when confrontedwith what they consider as errors, analysis of their use of mathematical formulas in the commentaries. This part of the investigation interacts with the broader context of the career of thetwo main protagonists and their historical perspectives in the deciphering of the sourcesdocumenting the history of mathematics in Mesopotamia which are scrutinized in detail in a firstpart.The result is a detailed and contextualized picture of the process of mutual influence betweendeciphering a text and understanding its content, the so called hermeneutic circle, from thediscovery of the tablets in question until their publication in the reference books. In passing, a critical review of the practice consisting of restoring the order of magnitude to the numbers writtenin the typical sexagesimal place value notation studied in its historical relation with the decipherment of cuneiform metrologies strongly suggests the abandonment of such practice

Full textThe thesisis is composed of three chapters, the first deals with the problem of the city of Larsa from two sides : historical and archaeological. I studied the history of all the kings that are mounted on the throne of Larsa. I found some news informations. There are some problems still without answer because of the absence of archaeological excavations on the site of Larsa. In the archeology of this city, I studied all of city : the fortress / doors, streets, the temple, the royal palace and the houses with three houses as examples. Then, an illustration of some important objects revealed by the French excavations in this city. The second chapter is a study of a new royal palace archive of Larsa. This archive provides many new historical informations about the life in Larsa especially the life in the royal palace. I have found in this archive some answers to some historical questions. This archive has shown us that Larsa was a remarkable administrative center in the southern part of Mesopotamia. Finally, I studied in the third chapter somme texts from different kinds : contracts, administrative, schooler texts, and incantations. This collection of texts poses no problems. The texts are classics and

Full textThe objective of this research is to study the practice of witchcraft in Hittite Anatolia (2nd millennium BC). The available sources are cuneiform texts in Hittite and Luwian languages found in the archives of their capital, Hattuša (now Boğazkale) and dated from the 16th-15th centuries to the 13th century BC. Due to the nature of the sources, this research is divided in two parts. The first one is the edition and philological study of a corpus of texts dealing with witchcraft, while the second one constitutes the analysis of the content itself using a theoretical approach from social anthropology. This analysis aims to improve our understanding of the different ways in which the Hittites conceived of witchcraft and to apprehend the cultural realities behind the texts. Therefore, this research will naturally be at the crossroads of anthropology, philology and the history of religions

Full textHow do modern historians cope with error or mistake in texts? This is an essential question for anyone studying the histories, whether history of science or a political history. The researcher must also ask how error is to be defined: these are often sources of difficulty for researcher which must be crossed. However, this dissertation sees value in the study of error and mistake. We can describe better how an actor was affected by his surroundings through error and mistake, and in the process even help understand these surroundings. This dissertation uses rounding numbers to enter into a discussion of error and mistake. As its name implies, discussion is in two parts: how rounding numbers was expressed in the scribal curriculum and how rounding numbers was adapted for administrative purposes. Thus, extensive textual analysis is carried ou both of economic documents and mathematical texts, in pursuit of this endeavor. Study of economic texts, of which a large part are unedited, focuses on old babylonian archives (the beginning of the second millennium BCE) derived largely from illicit digs but which probably come from the region of Larsa

Full textThis work is based on a woman''s archive, which is worthy of interest and quite unparalleled in the cuneiform documentation available so far. This archive, consisting of a hundred and fifty economic texts, belonged to a princess, Iltani, Sâmû-Addu's daughter and sister of Aqur-Addu, king of Karanâ. She married Haqba-Hammû, a diviner, and lived in the old palace of Hadnû-rabi; king of Qattarâ. Iltani archive, dated to some years after the destruction of the Mari palace, is the major epigraphic source for the period and the region; it gives some - admittedly local - information about a period for which the documentation was lacking. The aim of this PhD was thus not only to study Iltani's archive tablets anew but also to bring out important details about the lifestyle of a woman living in an 18th century BC ancient capital, with the help of the corpuses of neighbouring sites such as Šubat-Enlil/Šehnâ, which was recently published, and Mari. A new edition of Iltani's archive was made possible thanks to my photographies of Iltani's tablets. They are the base of this thesis which highlights the characteristic features of this documentation. This thesis gives us a better knowledge of Iltani and her entourage, clarifies some aspects of their life and of the history of the kingdom they were living in. Another interest of this study is the description of the daily life of a high rank woman from Upper Mesopotamia during the Old Babylonian period, which helps to improve our understanding of the place of women in that society

Activation of the dorsolateral periaqueductal grey (dlPAG) induces the defence reaction and the inhibition of the reflex bradycardia thought activation of the 5-HT3, NK1 and GABAA receptors in the NTS. Our experiment showed that the B3 group was the origin of serotonin released in the NTS during the defence reaction. We found that the nucleus cuneiformis (Cnf) is involved in this cardiac reflex modulation following the same pathway. In addition we found massive afferents from the Cnf reached the dlPAG

Full textThe purpose of the thesis was to demonstrate that the XIIIth century b. C. Is the datation of the epic and mythological texts who bear a colophon of the scribe llumilku and not the XIVth century b. C. The demonstration was relied on the archaeology and on the epigraphy. We had reexamined the archaeological context of the houses where had been discovered the "signed" tablets. With the epigraphy followed we the profession of this scribe llumilku. He is the alone scribe to sign with a colophon most of epic and mythological texts what he copied or written. This texts show same paleographical caracteristics. So it was enable to identify others anonymous tablets of the scribe by comparaison. We found too the signature of llumilku on the akkadian tablets. This study is the first one in which we tried to retrace the profession of the profession of a scribe who was digraphic and bilingual : simple scribe under ammistamru II (1250-1230), he was advanced to the cultural and administrative duties under niqmaddu III (1230-1215)

Full textAmong the large collection of cuneiform documents now kept in the archaeological museum of Sulaymaniyah (Iraqi Kurdistan) is a smal batch of hundred tablets which are the private archives of an individual of the time of the Third Dynasty of Ur (XXst century BC), who was completely unknown until now : his name was Eṣidum. And his archival documents, here edited for the first time, are closely related to those, well known, of two other « businessmen » of that time : SI.A-a and Tûram-ili. Eṣidum had the title of « merchant » (dam-gàr). Most of the operations documented in its archives consist of barley and silver loans. But it also proceeded to sales and purchases. This thesis present the documents (83 cuneiform tablets in Sumerian language) and the results of the internal research to determine the possible geographical origins of the archive. Eṣidum during the 33 years of his carreer (from year 37 of Šulgi to year 3 of Ibbi-Suen) are studied, and possible links with the other two archives of SI-A-a and Tûram-ili are considered. Compared to the huge quantity of administrative records of the Ur III period, privat merchants archives remain few in number, but this is precisely what makes them so valuable. In addition to the recent overview on this topic presented by S. Garfinkle (CUSAS 22, 2012), our research aims to better understand what could be a merchant doing business on his own account at the end of the third millennium BC

Thesis, Sorbonne Paris Cité, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017USPCC012.
Full textThis thesis attempts to trace the circulation circuits of cuneiform mathematical tablets from the excavation sites where they were exhumed at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century, to the collections where they are preserved. Its purpose is to show the influence of the course of the tablets on their study and publication. The circulation networks of mathematical tablets, like those of antiquities in general, are very complex and often opaque. The thesis analyzes this complexity and the factors that are involved. The first part examines the progressive establishment of legislation, the proliferation of illegal excavations, and the sharing among excavators. The second part deals with the role of merchants and private collectors. A special place is given to a character with a central role in the circulation of mathematical tablets: the merchant Elias Géjou. The conclusion shows how the study and publication of the tablets, based on corpus artificially constituted within a collection or through several collections, depends closely on the history of the circulation networks of antiquities

Full textThe historical interest generated by the rich archaeological remains from Emar and Ugarit as well as several other cities of the era, including Alalah, encouraged us to take an interest in the distribution of power in Syria at the Late Bronze Age, a question for which few synthesis studies have been devoted today. We focus our study on several cities during the Late Bronze Age, since the beginning of the second half of the second millennium to the early twelfth century BC.Certainly, there is a religious power and economic power, but more often the notion of power implies the presence of a political power which is subject to a community. We therefore distinguish the terms “authority” and “power”, the latter to be considered the application and demonstration of authority. The ancient texts represent a direct documentation for this study. The akkadian cuneiform tablets from the Syrian cities of this period are in the middle of our research.We believe that a comparative and analytical research will help us better understand the different types of power in Syria, to identify the various rulers of the Late Bronze Age and define the characteristics of the Syrian political organization during this period
