    We demonstrate a measurement of the Higgs boson mass by the method of energy scanning at photon-photon colliders, using the high energy edge of the photon spectrum. With an integrated luminosity of 50 fb−1\rm{fb^{-1}} it is possible to measure the standard model Higgs mass to within 110 MeV in photon-photon collisions for m_h=100 GeV. As for the total width of the Higgs boson, the statistical error ΔΓh/ΓhSM=0.06\Delta\Gamma_h/\Gamma_{h \rm{SM}}=0.06 is expected for m_h=100 GeV, if both Γ(h→γγ)\Gamma(h\to\gamma\gamma) and Γ(h→bbˉ)\Gamma(h\to b\bar{b}) are fixed at the predicted standard model value.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, Given at 3nd International Workshop on Electron-Electron Interactions at TeV Energies, Dec 10-12, Santa Cruz, California, 199
