Ancient medicine and world construction among the literati of late Persian period/early Hellenistic Judah
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.
