Originally named Demetrio Papandriopulo and of Greek parentage,
Giovanni D'Athanasi (1798 1854) became in 1815 the servant of Henry
Salt (1780 1827), the traveller and antiquary who became British
Consul in Egypt and a pioneer Egyptologist. (An account by J. J.
Halls of Salt's life and career is also reissued in this series.)
Between 1817 and 1827, D'Athanasi excavated on Salt's behalf at
Thebes. Published in 1836, this book was intended to accompany the
sale of the collection of antiquities amassed by Salt, in which
D'Athanasi had a financial interest, but various delays meant that
it came out after the main sale had taken place. As well as an
often diverting account (in which many axes are ground) of Salt's
activities at Giza, Thebes, Memphis and Abu Simbel, the book
contains a complete catalogue of the collection, indicating which
items were later acquired by the British Museum."
