[eng] This is the final work of my degree and is a brief study about the use of plants in Ancient Egypt, trying to distinguish between the plants that were used for empirical medicine and aromatic plants generally used for the production of perfumes and cosmetics. Some of the last ones were also used for the mummification process and could also be found in the graves of the Pharoahs. The work is mainly based on the information obtained from 'An Ancient Egyptian Herbal' written by Lise Manniche and is a comparative study with other bibliographic resources to expand and make a contrast with the studies of ancient papyri. This is the main source of information given by this academic study. It describes some plants with therapeutic application and continues the study, comparing the information with Dioscórides Renovado written by Dr Pio Font Quer, a famous Catalan botanist. The transcription from Arabic into Latin has been essential for the knowledge and study of vegetable, animal and mineral medicine. The contents started from a global vision of the concepts of health and sickness in the Egyptian civilization as a constant struggle between good and evil. There were many branches of medicine that had their origins in ancient Egypt. One of them was the use of medicinal plants that were known thanks to the ancient papyri and they are disclosed through the results and discussion and also through pertinent conclusions and the specific bibliography that is included in this final work of my degree.
[spa] Este trabajo final de grado, es un breve estudio del uso de las plantas en el antiguo Egipto , tratando de distinguir las que fueron usadas como medicamentos empíricos y las plantas aromáticas que fueron destinadas a la fabricación de perfumes y cosméticos. Algunas de ellas fueron usadas en el proceso de momificación y han sido localizadas en las tumbas de los faraones. El trabajo se basa en la información obtenida del libro An Ancient Egyptian Herbal de Lise Manniche, y su estudio comparativo con el de otras fuentes bibliográficas, para ampliar y contrastar el estudio de los antiguos papiros, fuente de información básica de este trabajo final de grado. Se describen algunas plantas de aplicación terapéutica y se prosigue el estudio comparándolas con el Dioscórides Renovado del Dr. Pio Font Quer, célebre botánico catalán. La trascripción del árabe al latín ha sido esencial para el conocimiento y estudio de la materia médica vegetal, animal y mineral. El contenido expuesto se ha hecho desde una visión global del concepto de la salud y la enfermedad de la civilización egipcia como una lucha constante entre el bien y el mal. Muchas fueron las ramas de la medicina que se originaron en el Antiguo Egipto, una de las cuales fue la utilización de las plantas medicinales, conocidas gracias a los papiros antiguos y que se dan a conocer en los resultados y discusión, además de las conclusiones pertinentes y bibliografía específica del tema en cuestión de este trabajo final de grado.
