Egyptian Mathematical Leather Roll
EGYPTIAN MATHEMATICAL LEATHER ROLL (EMLR) Henry Rhind purchased the 10" x 17" leather roll in 1858. It was sent to the British Museum in 1864, along with the Rhind Mathematical Papyrus but the former was not chemically softened and unrolled until 1927 (Scott, Hall 1927).
