Despite the lengthy period of documentation of Babylonian medicine, no attempt has been made to view the acquisition of Akkadian medical knowledge as a dynamic process, which also needed to adapt to changing expectations. The present paper will survey Babylonian medicine while seeking out the cacophony of different voices, ending with the intriguing question: who controls the narrative? El enfoque habitual de los escritos médicos babilónicos es asumir un corpus monolítico de datos presentados en recetas y listas de medicamentos o colecciones de síntomas para el pronóstico y el diagnóstico. A pesar del largo período de documentación de la medicina babilónica, no se ha intentado analizar la adquisición de conocimientos médicos acadios como un proceso dinámico, que también necesitaba adaptarse a expectativas cambiantes. El presente artículo examinará la medicina babilónica mientras busca la cacofonía de diferentes voces, terminando con la intrigante pregunta: ¿quién controla la narrativa? A abordagem usual para os escritos médicos babilônicos assume um corpus monolítico de dados apresentado ou em receitas e listas de remédios ou em coleções de sintomas para prognóstico e diagnóstico. Apesar do longo período de documentação da medicina babilônica, nenhuma tentativa foi feita de ver a aquisição do conhecimento médico acadiano como um processo dinâmico, que também necessitasse adaptar-se a expectativas cambiantes. O presente artigo fará uma apresentação geral da medicina babilônica ao mesmo tempo em que busca a cacofonia de diferentes vozes, concluindo com a intrigante questão: quem controla a narrativa?
