Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Magician and Leech: A Study in the Beginnings of Medicine With Special Reference to Ancient Egypt' is a scholarly examination of the evolution of medical practice from its earliest roots in magic and superstition to the development of empirical observation. Author Warren R. Dawson explores the fascinating intersection of the supernatural and the scientific in the ancient world, focusing specifically on the advanced civilizations of the Nile Valley.The work provides a detailed analysis of how the roles of the magician and the physician-or 'leech'-were fundamentally intertwined in Ancient Egypt. Through the study of medical papyri and historical records, Dawson illustrates the diagnostic and therapeutic methods used by early practitioners, ranging from incantations and amulets to the application of drugs and surgical procedures. The book highlights the significant contributions made by Egyptian medicine to the broader history of science, examining how their anatomical knowledge and pharmacological discoveries influenced later Greek and Roman practices.By bridging the gap between folklore and medicine, this study offers valuable insights into the ancient mind and the slow emergence of rational medical science. It remains an essential resource for those interested in Egyptology, the history of medicine, and the social history of the ancient world.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. 1st Edition. portrait frontispiece, 272, 3 plates and a map, publisher's purple cloth, gilt tiles to spine, owner inscription of Peter Daniel, Professor of Physiology, on free endpaper. Near fine, spine slightly faded. An account of the life and career of Smith with a lengthy list of his publications and an appendix on race and physical anthropology. "Sir Grafton Elliot Smith (15 August 1871 - 1 January 1937) was an Australian-British anatomist, Egyptologist and a proponent of the hyperdiffusionist view of prehistory. He believed in the idea that cultural innovations occur only once and that they spread geographically. Based on this, he traced the origins of many cultural and traditional practices across the world, including the New World, to ideas that he believed came from Egypt and in some instances from Asia. An expert on brain anatomy, he was one of the first to study Egyptian mummies using radiological techniques. He took an interest in extinct humanoids and was embroiled in controversy over the authenticity of the Piltdown Man." Wikipedia.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Bridle of Pegasus: Studies in Magic, Mythology and Folklore' is a scholarly and insightful exploration into the persistent influence of ancient beliefs and supernatural practices across human history. Written by Warren R. Dawson, this collection of essays delves into the intricate connections between mythology, early medical practices, and the evolution of folklore. The work examines a diverse array of subjects, ranging from the symbolic significance of the bridle of Pegasus to the curious roles of animals and plants in traditional magic and medicine.Throughout the volume, Dawson provides meticulous research into topics such as the origins of tattooing, the legendary properties of the mandrake, and the ritualistic use of the mouse in ancient healing. By bridging the gap between historical fact and mythological tradition, the author sheds light on how primitive superstitions often laid the groundwork for later cultural and scientific developments. This book serves as an essential resource for students of anthropology, comparative religion, and the history of magic, offering a deep dive into the collective imagination of the past. Its analytical approach makes it a timeless contribution to the study of how human societies have interpreted the world through a mystical lens.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
