Philo's Alexandria
A work on ancient Egyptian medicine, more recent than Nunn but not nearly as good. The authors are quite uncritical and take far too many writings and representations which are probably mythical or symbolic literally and at face value -- they even include an appendix explaining the ten plagues of Moses!
