Letizia Savino is an Assyriologist specialising in the philology and cultural history of the ancient Near East. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz, where she teaches Akkadian language and cuneiform literature. Her research focuses on Akkadian scholarly and literary traditions, with particular emphasis on medicine, healing practices, and the transmission of specialised knowledge across the ancient Near East. Her work explores Akkadian medical texts from Ḫattuša, Mesopotamian therapeutic and ritual traditions, the circulation of experts and expertise during the second millennium BCE, and the interaction between Mesopotamian and Anatolian intellectual traditions. More broadly, she is interested in the history of cuneiform scholarship, textual transmission, and the movement of knowledge, people, and practices across linguistic and cultural boundaries. Her research combines close philological analysis with broader historical perspectives to investigate how cuneiform texts illuminate processes of knowledge production, cultural exchange, and intellectual history in the ancient Near East.
