The admonitions of an Egyptian sage from a hieratic papyrus in LeidenPap (Pap. Leiden 344 recto)
An A-Z reference providing concise and accessible information on Ancient Egypt from its predynastic cultures to the suicide of Cleopatra and Mark Anthony in the face of the Roman conquest. Annotation. Bunson (an author of reference works) has revised her 1991 reference (which is appropriate for high school and public libraries) to span Egypt's history from the predynastic period to the Roman conquest. The encyclopedia includes entries for people, sites, events, and concepts as well as featuring lengthy entries or inset boxes on major topics such as deities, animals, and the military. A plan and photograph are included for each of the major architectural sites.
The language of Ancient Egypt has been the object of careful investigation since its decipherment in the nineteenth century, but this is the first accessible account that uses the insight of modern linguistics. Antonio Loprieno discusses the hieroglyphic system and its cursive varieties, and the phonology, morphology and syntax of Ancient Egyptian, as well as looking at its genetic ties with other languages of the Near East. This book will be indispensable for both linguists and Egyptologists.

Excerpt from The Admonitions of an Egyptian Sage: From a Hieratic Papyrus in Leiden (Pap; Leiden 344 Recto) Half of the book was already in type wheni became acquainted with the London writing board no. 5645. The texts upon this board proved to be of such interest in connection with the Leiden Papyrus that I at once decided, subject to the courteous consent of my publishers, to print them in an Appendix to my work. The indications afforded by this new document have led me to take up a much more definite position with regard to the date of the composition of the Leiden Admonitions, and I must beg my readers not to overlook the concluding remarks on this subject at the end of the Appendix. The Leiden papyrus is too dark in colour to make a complete photographic reproduction desirable. It is my firm conviction that, in the case of defective and worn documents such as this, no mechanical reproduction can render a study of the original super uous; and I considered it better to induce the student who wishes to check the transcription to have recourse to the actual document than to offer him an inadequate means of control that would greatly have increased the price of the work. I have therefore contented myself with giving, as frontispiece, a photo graph of the most legible page. The hieratic signs drawn in the footnotes to the autographic plates do not claim to be more than approximately accurate. The appearance of Dr. Lange's name beside my own on the frontispiece and on the autographic plates is due to circumstances above explained, and will doubtless meet with the indulgence of my readers.
