Apprenticeship and the Materiality of Texts in Uruk during the Late Achaemenid and Hellenistic Periods

Abstrak

This article explores the materiality of texts related to apprenticeship in Uruk during the Late Achaemenid and Hellenistic periods, focusing on the training of pupils and ‘small healer’ (āšipu ṣeḫru) in the Ue XVIII sector. The collections of texts discovered in this area belonged to two families of healers (āšipu). They are particularly valuable because they are among the few scholarly collections from this period that have been excavated with sufficient scientific rigour. The study also examines how the cultural transformations of Babylonian scholarship during this time impacted both the apprenticeship and the practices of the healers.
