Headache in magical and medical papyri of ancient Egypt.
Despite the intensity with which many scholars have studied the evolution of Egyptian medicine, interdisciplinary studies on the history of headache are scarcely extant. Following a short discussion of historiographical issues, the main objective of this paper is to present a comprehensive and detailed overview on this subject. Scattered references to headache are extracted from so-called magical papyri and from medical texts of the New Kingdom. Although little is known about the quality of headache and about accompanying symptoms, four predominant localizations are distinguished. Due to the lack of precise descriptions it is impossible to establish the retrospective diagnosis of migraine. Explanations of the origin of cephalalgia and of the corresponding therapeutic actions differ according to the nature of the source. In magical papyri, headaches are attributed to the action of demons and supernatural forces, whereas medical papyri emphasize the role of head trauma and of 'pain matter' occurring in the body. Treatment could be magical, pharmacological or surgical. Examples of incantations and prescriptions are analysed in detail.
[Comments on a hitherto unknown ophthalmological monograph by Jacob Rüff (ca 1500-1558)].
Jacob Rüff challenges the representatives of academic medicine in a hitherto unknown and incomplete latin manuscript to oppose the decline in ophthalmology. This manuscript is the rough draft of an ophthalmological text-book of early modern times, never published but written at least 25 years before Bartisch's "Augentrost". It comprises traditional knowledge, the author's own discoveries, 85 prescriptions and 50 pen-and-ink drawings showing the anatomy of the eye and ophthalmo-surgical instruments.
