| Sumario: | Abstract: Medical practices, physicians, medical lore, and with a few obvious exceptions
even shamanistic healers are for the most part absent from the world of memory
evoked by readings and rereadings of the core repertoire of the Jerusalem-centered
literati of the late Persian-Early Hellenistic Period. Why is this so? The search for
an answer to this question sheds light on the social world shared by these literati
and the healing practitioners, the role of social memory and draws attention to the
historically contingent character of world-constructions among the literati. |
