Papyrus Ebers Online
When I was working on "KTU 4.767: A Medical Text from Tell Taanach" I wanted to look at the Papyrus Ebers to see if there was anything to learn from it about "a wrapping of henna" which I think is the best way to understand two words on this six word tablet. I knew from various secondary sources that Papyrus Ebers contained a wealth of material on the use of henna. Walter Wreszinski's Medizin der Alten Ägypter, Band III: "Der Papyrus Ebers" Umschrift, Übersetzung und Kommentar, Leipzig, J. C. Hinrichs' Buchandlung, 1913 was and, I believe, still is the most complete study of this papyrus. But despite Herculean efforts by the reference librarian and Claremont School of Theology to get it via interlibrary loan, I could not get my hands on a copy. Now the Umschrift is available online and I hope the Übersetzung und Kommentar will follow soon. Of course, this could just be a wild goose chase but I won't know until I look and that could take some time and effort. I'll let you know.
