Book Description
Excerpt from Studies in the Palaeopathology of Egypt Sir Marc Armand Ruffer, whose Studies in Palaeo pathology con stitute this volume, had intended to retire from active duty in 1919 and devote his attention to the preparation of a work dealing with his antiquarian studies of ancient Egypt. The present collection of papers issued under the direction of his wife, Lady Ruffer, is intended to replace that proposed undertaking. While the details of his plan are uncertain, since he left no notes on the project, it has been deemed best to select only those studies which deal with the evidences of disease in ancient Egypt. These by no means represent his life's work, but are rather the result of one of his keenest interests during the twenty years of his residence in Egypt.
