Description

This comprehensive guide to Middle Egyptian texts is a cornerstone of Dutch Egyptology, first published in 1948 and remaining in print ever since. Adriaan de Buck's Egyptian Readingbook has become a trusted resource for students worldwide, offering a diverse selection of historical texts, literary pieces, and religious texts in beautifully rendered hieroglyphic script.

This new edition builds upon the original, with the addition of several Coffin Texts and Book of the Dead spells, as well as a new introduction by Olaf E. Kaper. The result is a rich and authoritative collection that provides a unique insight into the language and culture of ancient Egypt.

With its clear and concise presentation, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in ancient languages, archaeology, or social science. Its enduring popularity is a testament to its value as a teaching tool and a window into the past.
