Medicine in the days of the pharaohs

Author:	Bruno Halioua; Bernard Ziskind
Publisher:	Cambridge, MA : Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2005.
Edition/Format:	Book : EnglishView all editions and formats
Summary:	"Bruno Halioua and Bernard Ziskind provide a comprehensive account of pharaonic medicine that is illuminated by what modern science has discovered about the lives (and deaths) of people from many walks of life - farmers, fishermen, miners, soldiers, scribes and priests, embalmers, construction workers, bakers, prostitutes. From mummies and medical papyri we are able to recognize the aches of osteoarthritis, imagine the occupational hazards faced by press-ganged stonemasons, and learn of the gynecological complaints of courtesans. In presenting these stories Halioua and Ziskind throw light on some of the most enduring questions about life and death in antiquity: about physicians whose skills predate Hippocrates by twenty-five centuries and were first made famous by Homer; about the remedies and techniques they employed, at once strange and strangely familiar; about the men, women and children they treated; and about the diseases and injuries they were called upon to heal."--BOOK JACKET.  Read more...
