Leyden papyrus X : ウィキペディア英語版 | Leyden papyrus X The Leyden papyrus X (P. Leyden X) is a papyrus codex written in Greek at about the end of the 3rd century A.D.〔E.R.Caley, ''The Leyden Paprus X: An English Translation with Brief Notes'', (p.1149 ): "These two papyri have, however, upon the basis of unquestioned philological and paleographic evidence, been ascertained to have been written at about the end of the third century A.D. so that they are by far the earliest original historical evidence that we have in our possession concerning the nature and the extent of ancient chemical knowledge."〕 or perhaps around 250 A.D. and buried with its owner,〔Georgia Lynette Irby-Massie, Paul Turquand Keyser, ''Greek science of the Hellenistic era: a sourcebook'', (p.251 )〕 and today preserved at Leiden in the Netherlands. == Origin ==
The Leiden papyrus was discovered at Thebes in Egypt, together with the Stockholm Papyrus, which was probably written by the same scribe,〔Stanton J. Linden, ''The alchemy reader: from Hermes Trismegistus to Isaac Newton'', (p.46 ).〕 and many Greek magical papyri, in the early 19th century by an adventurer calling himself Jean d'Anastasi, holding the office of Swedish vice-consul in Alexandria. In 1828 he sold a number of papyri to the Dutch government, which were lodged at the Leiden University Library, and labelled alphabetically from A to Z. The papyri were first published and translated into Latin by Conrad Leemans in 1885 (Papyri graeci musei antiquarii publici Lugduni Batavi). Papyri A to U relate to matters concerning Ancient Egyptian law. Papyri V, W and X deal with alchemy. The related Stockholm papyrus was found together with these, and Anastasy donated it to Sweden in 1832. It was first published by Otto Lagercrantz in 1913 (Papyrus Graecus Holmiensis). Whereas the Leiden papyrus X deals with metallurgy, the Stockholm papyrus deals with gems, pearls and textile dyeing.
