Ancient Egyptian Magical and Traditional Medicine in a Bilingual Papyrus in Demotic and Greek: ”The Demotic Magical Papyrus of London and Leiden”

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this contribution is to put the reader in connection with an Ancient Egyptian papyrus from the Roman era – from the third century A. D., to be more precise –, a papyrus which is dealing with magic and medicine. The papyrus is especially interesting for the language in which it is written, being probably the latest Egyptian manuscript written in the demotic script, at the time when the Greek alphabet had been adopted by the local Christians. ”The Demotic Magical Papyrus of London and Leiden” should be regarded as being the document which perhaps contributed more than any other to the deciphrement of demotic, partly through its numerous Greek glosses.
