Sabine Herrmann:
The PatientsŐ View in Ancient
Egypt
Although many medical texts
are preserved from Ancient Egypt, they provide only little information about
the relationship between the Egyptian physician and the patient. The aim of
this article is to draw the readersŐ attention to personal documents such as
letters between members of the royal court or private individuals as well as to
literary texts from the New Kingdom up to the Roman Period. The article focuses
on Mesopotamian legal texts (Codex Hammurabi) and letters from the kingdom of
Mari.
