Papyrus Leiden I 343 + 345 is one of the most extraordinary
manuscripts providing a deeper insight into magic and medicine in
Ancient Egypt. The main part of the papyrus deals with the ancient
Near Eastern disease demon Samanu, who is well known from Sumerian
and Akkadian incantations and medical texts. In addition, a broad
range of other conjurations and spells against any pain and feet
swelling are included. The papyrus also contains two curious spells
dealing with 'falling water from the sky'. Eight out of fourteen
incantations against the demon Samanu were incorporated twice in
this papyrus. The texts are not only presented as parallel text
edition but also with photographs of the papyrus. This re-edition
of papyrus Leiden I 343 + 345 is a revised transliteration,
transcription, translation and up-to-date commentary.
