“…The so-called "Exorcist's Manual",69 abbreviated EM, is a collection of text incipits or overarching titles referring to series and groups of texts of the exorcist's craft (āšipūtu). The EM opens: "Titles of the series of the exorcist's craft (iškar āšipūti) which have been established for learning and reading (ana iḫzi u tāmarti kunnū), a complete list".70 It has therefore been suggested that the EM functioned as a pedagogical tool providing a reference list that defined the ideal range of exorcistic knowledge,71 a work on how to become an āšipu and expert (ummânu),72 as well as a work celebrating the āšipu profession's status.73 The title ummânu designated a "master" of any craft, and in connection to the scholarly disciplines the title is usually translated as "scholar" or "expert".74 Seven manuscripts of the EM are known: three from the NA period and four from the NB and LB periods.75 The earliest datable copy is KAR 44 from the N4 collection, copied by Kiṣir-Nabû (Schwemer 2011: 421), and an additional NA example from the N4 collection.76 The difficult text comprises 44 lines including the colophon, with many titles written in complex Sumerograms, phonetic Akkadian, or pseudo-Sumerian phrases, and a few individual entries are provided with glosses (Frahm 2011a In general, many individual titles, particularly within the first section of the EM, refer to multi-tablet exorcistic series or text groups related to, e.g., the temple, cult, or court (Schwemer 2011: 421-22). The second part is more general in its text descriptions and lists various additional works that are needed to uncover the secrets behind the texts, works to familiarize oneself with scholarship beyond exorcism, and finally a prayer on behalf of the reader.78 The lines are intentionally cryptographic and likely instruct the reader how to gain The works enumerated in lines 37-38 were perhaps "not meant to be studied for their own sake, but with the intention of achieving a better understanding of the ritual texts listed in the 'manual'" (Frahm 2011a: 329).…”
