了解古代美索不达米亚的文化和思想体系的最重要的来源之一是用苏美尔语和阿卡德语写的大量魔法和医学文本。这种文学的一个特别重要的分支是关于巫术的。美索不达米亚的反巫术仪式和咒语将疾病和不幸归因于女巫的魔法阴谋，并规定了消除巫术、消灭女巫、保护和治愈病人的仪式、装置和治疗方法。《美索不达米亚反巫术仪式语料库》旨在重建这一文本;它根据对从古代美索不达米亚图书馆中恢复的楔形文字泥板和碎片的研究，提供了相关仪式和处方的批判性版本。
Among the most important sources for understanding the cultures and systems of thought of ancient Mesopotamia is a large body of magical and medical texts written in the Sumerian and Akkadian languages. An especially significant branch of this literature centres upon witchcraft. Mesopotamian anti-witchcraft rituals and incantations attribute ill-health and misfortune to the magic machinations of witches and prescribe ceremonies, devices, and treatments for dispelling witchcraft, destroying the witch, and protecting and curing the patient. The Corpus of Mesopotamian Anti-Witchcraft Rituals aims to present a reconstruction of this body of texts; it provides critical editions of the relevant rituals and prescriptions based on the study of the cuneiform tablets and fragments recovered from the libraries of ancient Mesopotamia.
