Title A name given to the resource Academic Texts Description An account of the resource These academic and educational works are texts that relate to the understanding and teaching of scientific knowledge. This includes subjects such as medicine, timekeeping, and healing. Many of these texts are books, while others are tablets or single manuscript leaves. Some of these works had the purpose of instructing and directing others on how to perform medicine and provide healing, while others are detailed calendars.

Title A name given to the resource Mathematical Tables Description An account of the resource The mathematical tables pictured here are most likely from a Christian community and school in Fayyum, Egypt during the 6th or 7th century. The numbers are written in Greek, demonstrating that a student was practicing his or her division tables. The material is a board of wood that has been covered by a coat of gesso. The numbers are written in five columns horizontally across the board, and there are holes made in the top of the board which signal that this would have been put together with other pieces of wood as an early type of notebook.
