Lost in translation: the history of the Ebers Papyrus and Dr. Carl H. von Klein.
Journal of the Medical Library Association : JMLA 2023 October 3
While the Ebers Papyrus is understood to be one of the oldest and most complete contemporaneous perspectives on Ancient Egyptian healing practices, nothing has yet been said about the biography of its first English-language translator, Dr. Carl H. von Klein.

In this paper, we examine the societal- and personal-scale forces that thwarted his efforts to transform our understanding of the history of medicine.
