The Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus is a book that provides a detailed analysis of one of the oldest known medical texts in the world.

In this book, James Henry Breasted provides a complete transliteration and translation of the papyrus, along with his commentary on the text. This volume covers the first half of the papyrus, which includes descriptions of surgical procedures for various injuries and conditions, such as fractures, dislocations, and wounds. The book is an essential resource for anyone interested in the history of medicine, ancient Egypt, or the development of human knowledge and understanding.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
