The name of Jean-Fran ois Champollion (1790 1832) will always be
associated with the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs.
Champollion himself was a child prodigy who had taught himself
numerous ancient languages in his teenage years, despite not having
received any formal education. In this 1824 work, he expands on the
discoveries he had previously outlined in 1822, giving a long and
systematic account of his research, which was based on the insight
of Thomas Young that clusters of hieroglyphs on the tri-lingual
Rosetta Stone could be matched to known Greek and Latin names. He
gave phonetic values to the signs, and then linked them to the
Coptic language (familiar from its use in the liturgy of the Coptic
Christian Church in Egypt), which he recognised as being descended
from ancient Egyptian. The work was originally published in two
volumes (the second being of illustrations), which are here bound
as one.
