Abstract

Ancient Near Eastern veterinary medicine is poorly attested in textual sources. In addition to a few Akkadian texts, four Ugaritic tablets contain a brief veterinary treatise copied in Ugarit (Ras Shamra) at the end of the second millenary BC. Two critical editions, with translation et commentary, have been achieved by Chaim Cohen and Daniel Sivan (1983 revised in 1996), then by Denis Pardee (1985). Both have considerably enlightened our knowledge of Ugaritic veterinary texts. This article tends to give an overview of their content and of the methodological issues raised by their study.
