The Hearst Papyrus, also called the Hearst Medical Papyrus,[1] is one of the medical papyri of ancient Egypt. It was named after Phoebe Hearst.[2] The papyrus contains 18 pages of medical prescriptions written in hieratic Egyptian writing, concentrating on treatments for problems dealing with the urinary system, blood, hair, and bites.[2] It is dated to the first half of the 2nd millennium BC. It is considered an important manuscript, but some doubts persist about its authenticity.[1]
