title: [Translation and comments of the first three tablets of the IGI series].
abstract: This paper translates the chapter on eye diseases from the great treatise on therapeutics compiled under Ashurbanipal and found in his royal libraries at Nineveh. As a professional ophthalmologist, I try to analyse and to understand the symptoms and the treatments described in these tablets, while bearing in mind the dangers of retrospective diagnosis.
