The Art of Medicine in Ancient Egypt Metropolitan Museum of Art Paperback
SEALED NEVER OPEN BUT HAVE SMALL DAMEGE pic nr 3 AND 4
The prevention and cure of disease and the treatment of injuries
were major concerns in ancient Egypt. Poorly understood in Egyptian
society, illness informed much of their art. Featuring works from The
Metropolitan Museum's collection, this fascinating book examines this
relatively unexplored and underappreciated aspect of Egyptian art. It
includes two introductory essays on Egyptian medicine, descriptions and
photographs of sixty-four objects, and the first color reproduction of
the Edwin Smith Papyrus in its entirety, accompanied by a full
translation. One of the world's oldest scientific documents, the
fifteen-foot-long Smith papyrus (now housed in the New York Academy of
Medicine), discusses both practical and magical treatments of wounds and
other maladies.
