A teaching grammar of middle Egyptian
:
This volume serves as a thorough and authoritative introduction to the "classical" phase of the ancient Egyptian language and its writing systems, known by convention as Middle Egyptian. It includes sixteen chapters with practice exercises, which offer detailed discussions of the conventional hieroglyphic script, syntax, and grammar, as well as overviews of diachronic change, the hieratic script, and nonstandard hieroglyphic orthographies (so-called cryptography). In addition, the volume includes an answer key to the even-numbered exercises, as well as a series of appendices, featuring an extensive glossary of particles, numerous paradigmatic charts, and a robust sign list
Perspectives on Panopolis: An Egyptian town from Alexander the Great to the Arab Conquest : Acts From an International Symposium Held in Leiden on 16, 17 and 18 December 1998 /
:
Panopolis, the modern town of Akhmîm in Southern Egypt, was in Graeco-Roman times an important religious and cultural centre. Its gigantic temple was a stronghold of traditional Egyptian religion. In Late Antiquity it became a major centre of Hellenistic literature and learning and, at the same time, of Coptic monasticism. The sources for Graeco-Roman Panopolis are numerous and diverse. They not only include numerous texts of all genres in various scripts and languages, but archaeological artefacts too. This volume brings together seventeen contributions, dealing with epigraphy, both hieroglyphic and Greek, Greek papyri, Demotic funerary texts, Coptic literature and local monastic architecture. Without neglecting the heuristic problems which these various sources pose, they conjure up a vivid picture of a world marked by profound religious and cultural change.
