Sir E. A. Wallis Budge (1857-1934) was Keeper of the British
Museum's department of oriental antiquities from 1894 until his
retirement in 1924. Carrying out many missions to Egypt in search
of ancient objects, Budge was hugely successful in collecting
papyri, statues and other artefacts for the trustees of the British
Museum: numbering into the thousands and of great cultural and
historical significance. Budge published well over 100 monographs,
which shaped the development of future scholarship and are still of
great academic value today, dealing with subjects such as Egyptian
religion, history and literature. This volume, first published in
1902, is the final volume of eight by Budge dealing with different
periods in the history of Egypt. The narrative ranges from the end
of the reign of Ptolemy IV, c. 210, to the death of Cleopatra VII
in c.30 B.C. This is a fascinating and important work, which is
still of great value to those interested in Egyptology and
archaeology.
