James Henry Breasted published The Edwin Smith Surgical Papyrus in 1930. It included a complete transcription, translation, and commentary on this ancient medical text. Many of the treatments include largely practical applications for doctors to treat their patients and alleviate pain, although a number of incantations are also included (as shown here on the right). This was the first volume published by the Oriental Institute to use the hieroglyphic font designed by Alan H. Gardiner and produced by Oxford University Press—a font since known as the Oxford or Gardiner font.
