Scribes, Egypt
The title “scribe” is attested since the Old Kingdom, ca. 2686–2160 bce (for the earliest attestation of the scribal profession in the Pyramid texts).
Translating Writings of Early Scholars in the Ancient Near East, Egypt, Greece and Rome: Methodological Aspects with Examples
Ancient cultures have left written evidence of a variety of scientific texts. But how can/should they be translated? Is it possible to use modern concepts (and terminology) in their translation and which consequences result from this practice? Scholars of various disciplines discuss the practice of translating ancient scientific texts and present examples of these texts and their translations.
Geometry, Egyptian
Within the Egyptian mathematical texts, it is not clear if “geometry” existed as a separate mathematical category.
Science, Egyptian
Traditional historiographical approaches have included mathematics and medicine within the domain of Egyptian science, whereas astronomy has often been left out of the picture or has been judged insignificant.
Mathematics, Egyptian
Mathematics must have played a key role in the development of ancient Egyptian culture. The social stratification which made it possible to develop high standards in art, architecture, and other cultural areas was only possible through a tight administration of resources using appropriate mathematical techniques.
Papyri, mathematical
Mathematical papyri are our main source of knowledge for ancient Egyptian mathematics. Only a few chance finds are extant, probably because the ancient Egyptian writing material, papyrus, only survived in conditions without humidity (i.e., locations in the desert, e.g., temples and tombs), and because mathematics, as a practical everyday matter, was rarely relevant in a temple or tomb setting.
Accounting, Egyptian
Written evidence for Egyptian accounting (most notably the Abusir and Gebelein papyri) dates back as far as the Old Kingdom (about 2686–2181 bce ).
Scribes, Egypt
The title “scribe” is attested since the Old Kingdom, ca. 2686–2160 BCE (for the earliest attestation of the scribal profession in the Pyramid texts, cf. Williams 1972: 214).
Numbers, Egyptian
The earliest evidence for writing from ancient Egypt includes numerical notations. Based on this, one might assume that the invention of script at the end of the fourth millennium BCE coincided with the invention of number notations.
Writings of Early Scholars in the Ancient Near East, Egypt, Rome, and Greece: Translating Ancient Scientific Texts
Medicine, astronomy, dealing with numbers ‐ even the cultures of the “pre-modern” world offer a rich spectrum of scientific texts. But how are they best translated? Is it sufficient to translate the sources into modern scientific language, and thereby, above all, to identify their deficits? Or would it be better to adopt the perspective of the sources themselves, strange as they are, only for them not to be properly understood by modern readers? …
Egyptian Mathematical Texts and Their Contexts
ArgumentThe extant sources for ancient Egyptian mathematics are extremely limited. It is therefore necessary to read the few sources carefully and use additional information from further Egyptian sources in order to achieve the most detailed picture possible. Traditional approaches to Egyptian mathematics have provided only a superficial account of mathematical practices and almost no information about the role of mathematics within Egyptian cult…
