Abstract :
[en] This volume provides new information on a brilliant but not well known period of the history of surgery. It uses as its point of departure a remarkable but insufficiently known documentation: Greek literary papyri (from I B.C. to A.D. VII), which often are unique witnesses to lost medical works, bearing testimony to original theories, practices and vocabulary.
The first part of the book provides an introduction to ancient surgery, to Greco-Roman Egypt and to the Greek medical papyri. The second part presents the critical edition with French translation and commentaries of seven surgical papyri and a chapter on other medical papyri with some information about surgery. [fr] Pourtant très brillante, la chirurgie alexandrine n'est connue qu'à travers les maigres témoignages de compilateurs tardifs. On dispose cependant d'une documentation remarquable, mais peu exploitée: des papyrus littéraires grecs (Ier s. avant J.-C.-VIIe s.), souvent seuls témoins d'oeuvres médicales perdues, qui attestent théories, pratiques et vocabulaire originaux. Après une introduction sur la chirurgie antique, l'Egypte gréco-romaine et les papyrus grecs de médecine, le livre présente l'édition critique, avec traduction et commentaires, de 7 papyrus chirurgicaux, ainsi qu'un chapitre sur d'autres papyrus médicaux contenant des informations sur la chirurgie.
