It appears to have been one of the few diseases that did not wait to be discovered by Hippocrates: there is a remarkably accurate description of rabies written in Mesopotamia in 2000 B.C. This excerpt recognizes certain facts related to the transmission and prophylaxis of the disease:"If a dog is mad and authorities have brought this to the attention of the owner, if he does not keep it in, and it bites a man and causes his death, then the owner shall pay 40 shekels of silver, 15 shekels if a slave."...References1.
