Ebers, Georg: A Question. V1. 19 Mar 2009
Georg Moritz Ebers (Berlin, March 1, 1837 – Tutzing, Bavaria, August 7, 1898), German Egyptologist and novelist, discovered the Egyptian medical papyrus, of ca 1550 BCE, named for him (see Ebers papyrus) at Luxor (Thebes) in the winter of 1873–74. Now in the library of the University of Leipzig, the Ebers papyrus is among the most important ancient Egyptian medical papyri. It is one of two of the oldest preserved medical documents anywhere, the other main source being the Edwin Smith papyrus (c. 1600 BCE).
Excerpt “Salt sea-water or oil, it’s all the same to you! Haven’t I put my lamp out long ago? Doesn’t the fire on the hearth give light enough? Are your eyes so drowsy that they don’t see the dawn shining in upon us more and more brightly? The olives are not yet pressed, and the old oil is getting toward the dregs. Besides, you know how much fruit those abominable thieves have stolen. But sparrows will carry grain into the barn before you’ll try to save your master’s property!” This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
