Note: "De Praestigiis Daemonum et Incantationibus ac Venificiis," often translated as "On the Illusions of the Demons and on Spells and Poisons," or "On the Tricks of Demons," is one of the most important texts in medical history and is often seen as a precursor to modern psychiatry. In it, Weyer, a Dutch physician, postulates that people, mostly women, who were accused of witchcraft might actually be "mentally ill," and suffering as a result of "melancholia." He suggested that many accounts of witchcraft, possession, and demonic rituals were false and were actually "hallucinations," from the Latin meaning "to let the mind run wild." This book is famous because it is one of the first articulations of the idea that witchcraft, as it was then understood, did not actually exist and that those who suffered from delusions or other symptoms had a psychological problem rather than a supernatural one. Weyer suggested that such people be treated medically by first taking a detailed history. De Praestigiis Daemonum was later influential in the abolishment of witchcraft trials in the Netherlands.

Lugal-nangara was the son of A-Duru, and brother of Lu-dingir-ra...The letter orders Lugal-nangara to supply 300 bundles of reeds to Šu-Suen. This very probably was the prince, son of Šulgi, and brother to Amar-Suen whom he was to succeed on the throne. References to him at Umma are rare...”
