“The most valuable and authoritative handbook of Egyptian Archæology extant.”—N. Y. Tribune.
Manual of Egyptian Archæology
By G. Maspero
Revised and Enlarged Edition. With nearly 250 Illustrations.
Among the volumes of service to the reader interested in Egyptology, this authoritative and pithy volume has for a long series of years occupied an important place. In compact form, it has presented an excellent survey—much of it the result of the author’s own researches and excavations—of just the facts that every well-informed person desires to know regarding the pyramids, the tombs, and the great temples, as well as the works of sculpture and the mural decorations that rendered their interiors striking and interesting. The whole course of Egyptian Archæology, in the light of the author’s explanations, becomes vitalized and full of meaning.
The text has been carefully revised and many significant additions made, based on contributions to the subject of Egyptology since the original issue of the volume. The making of the textual changes and additions has been entrusted to Mrs. H. W. Johns, the wife of the distinguished Assyriologist of Cambridge University and the sister of the well-known Egyptologist, Dr. F. S. Griffith of Oxford.
