The
Edwin Smith papyrus is the oldest surviving surgical text. It is part of an online exhibit from the
National Library of Medicine called
Turning the Pages, which allows the user to turn the pages of the book (or in this case, unroll the scroll), and zoom to read, or click to translate various sections. It requires Adobe Flash Player to work (anything version 6 or better).
