Description

This study presents a statistical analysis of the Egyptian medical text Papyrus Ebers, with the aim of identifying and analysing patterns in prescriptions. In this way the author is able to point to some of the principles and systems at work in Egyptian medicine, transcending the empirical-rational / magico-religious dichotomy.
