Seller's Description:
NF. Glossy grey/black boards with color image and red/putty lettering. 379 pp. with XVII color plates, 42 figure (mostly bw) and the manuscript reproduced in bw. "This volume contains the original hieratic text, complete transcription into hierglyphs, transliteration, English translation, philological apparatus and copiously illustrated medical commentaries for the 48 clinical cases of the Edwin Smith Papyrus. It offers an authoritative treatment of the Egyptian text, which clarifies the meaning of many passages from the papyrus and points the way to their correct medical interpretations. The Edwin Smith Papyrus is the first comprehensive trauma treatise in the history of medicine. Not only is the Papyrus the source of numerous anatomical and functional concepts of the nervous system, it also is the basis for the development of modern objective clinical thinking, establishing the foundations of modern medicine more than a thousand years before Hippocrates. This volume features an impressive array of medical material that reveals the precise conditions described by the ancient physician and explores the Egyptian contribution to modern diagnostics, clinical practice, and methodology. This publication sets the standard in the presentation of ancient medical documents. It also includes the previously unpublished translation of the papyrus by Edwin Smith himself."-from the back cover. Includes a note on transliteration, note on column and line numbering, list of abbreviations, visual index, a General and Medical Introduction (Gonzalo M. Sanchez) and Philological Introduction (Edmund S. Meltzer), 5 appendices, a general and medical index, and a philological index. The color plates are of the original Edwin Smith Papyrus. A few of the 48 case studies are: Scalp Contusion Laceration Penetrating to the Bone; Head Injury with Open, Comminuted, Depressed Skull Fracture; Fracture of the Nasal Septum; Necrotic Maxillary Stab Wound; Cranio-Facial Injury with Comminuted Maxillary-Zygomatic Fractures and Basilar Skull Fractures of the Anterior and Middle Fossae; Slashing Wound of the Ear; Mandibular Dislocation; Anterior Neck Wound with Esophageal-Tracheal Fistula; Cervical Burst Fracture with Spinal Cord Injury and Brain Contusion; Traumatic Costochondritis; Possible Kertinous/Epidermoid Cyst of the Chest Plate. (Heavy on the slashing wounds, probably because of the use of bladed objects in battle and dispute-settling...) The authors are specialists in medicine/neurology and in Egyptology and ancient civilizations. Excellent illustrations and diagrams used for the medical examples. One incredibly amazing book!
