Overview

Published in facsimile and hieroglyphic transliterations with translation and commentary in two volumes. This is volume one, featuring the essential Egytpian hieroglyphic transliteration (or copy), translation, and commentary, as well as eight black and white plates of archaeological significance. Ancient Egypt is the root of Western medicine and the medical arts and sciences, and thousands of years later, one can still pay tribute to that heritage with a book like this. Foxing and browning on some pages, as well as a great deal of fading to the spine backstrip.
