Wolfhart Westendorf

Wolfhart Westendorf was a German Egyptologist. He was a student of Hermann Grapow, and with him, was a co-author of the Grundriss der Medizin der alten Ägypter, the most extensive study of the subject of ancient Egyptian medicine done in any language. He has also published many other books on Egyptology and the ancient Egyptian language, as well as a dictionary of Coptic.
In the 1950s, Westendorf reportedly studied some of the unpublished notes from Howard Carter's excavation under the supervision of the Egyptian Antiquities Authority.
