The Stockholm Papyrus, also known as the Papyrus Graecus Holmiensis, is an alchemical manuscript written in ancient Greek dating from the third or fourth century AD.
The papyrus was part of a collection assembled by Johann d'Anastasy, Swedish vice-consul in Alexandria, Egypt. D'Anastasy's collection was sold to the Dutch government in 1828, and the Stockholm Papyrus was presented to the Swedish Academy of Antiquities in 1832.[1] It was neglected until the Swedish philologist Otto Lagercrantz published the Greek text and a German translation in 1913.[2] An English translation was publish in 1927.[1]
