An Important Translation.


OF the Papyrus Ebers, the important
medical manuscript which George Ebers,
the we'll known German Psychologist
and novelist, acquired at Luxsor eight
g or nineteen years ago, only frag-
ments-the chapter on diseases Of the
eyes, for instance-have, with Professor
Hirschberg's help, yet been translated.
Ebers shrank from translating the whole,
On the ground that medical knowledge
was requisite for the task. He expressed
this opinion when he and Ludwig Stern
edited the manuscript in 1875. A com
plete translation has now been made by
. Berlin medical man, DR.. Heinrich
Joachim, who learned Egyptian for the
purpose, and has been working at the
t~ranslation for several years. Thanks
10 his labors, the oldest medical work in

Joachim thinks that it was written at
latest 1850 years B. c., but that parts of

mainly o6 recipes, i~nterspersed here and
there with proverbs. In some passages
