An Egyptian Hieroglyphic Dictionary, a two volume set written by
Egyptian expert E.A. Wallis Budge, is quite simply one of the most
comprehensive and detailed dictionaries of Egyptian hieroglyphs
with English to accompany it. The series includes a detailed
Introduction by the author with key words and glyphs, a
bibliography of works used to help with translation and research,
glyphs organized alphabetically by the Egyptian alphabet with
accompanying words and English translations, tables of hieroglyphs
with phonetic and numeric values and accompanying translations, and
an Index of both English and Egyptian words. Volume I includes the
introduction, bibliography, a list of characters separated by
subject and organized by table, and letters "A" through "KH" or
"KHA" of hieroglyphs and translations. SIR ERNEST ALFRED THOMPSON
WALLIS BUDGE (1857-1934) was born in Bodmin, Cornwall in the UK and
discovered an interest in languages at a very early age. Budge
spent all his free time learning and discovering Semitic languages,
including Assyrian, Syriac, and Hebrew. Eventually, through a close
contact, he was able to acquire a job working with Egyptian and
Iraqi artifacts at the British Museum. Budge excavated and
deciphered numerous cuneiform and hieroglyphic documents,
contributing vastly to the museum's collection. Eventually, he
became the Keeper of his department, specializing in Egyptology.
Budge wrote many books during his lifetime, most specializing in
Egyptian life, religion, and language.
