Document Details : Title: Gifttiere im Alten Ägypten Subtitle: Medizinische und kulturhistorische Betrachtungen von Vergiftungen durch Skorpione und Schlangen in Beschwörungen Author(s): BECK, Susanne , KOMPOSCH, Christian Journal: Orientalia Volume: 93 Issue: 1 Date: 2024 Pages: 1-43 DOI: 10.2143/ORI.93.1.3293745 Abstract : The article deals with the medical aspects in scorpion incantations in ancient Egypt showing that partially empirical knowledge of the behaviour and venoms of these animals are included in the texts. Furthermore, it addresses the question why scorpions and snakes often named together in the spells with a comparison between the two very different taxonomical groups and their venoms. |
