        The University of Rochester library has a two-volume oversize book
published in 1927-1929 by the Mathematical Association of America, called
*The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus*. It contains a facsimile of the papyrus
with a literal translation. I haven't looked at it in many years, but I
believe it also contains some explanations by the editors. I do not have
a Library of Congress catalogue number for this book, as for some reason
the electronic catalogue of the University library doesn't seem to include
one. The place of publication is given as Oberlin, Ohio.
