A pioneering Egyptologist, Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie
(1853-1942) excavated over fifty sites and trained a generation of
archaeologists. A great many of his publications have been reissued
in this series. In the 1890s, the Irish scholar Sir John Pentland
Mahaffy (1839-1919) took the lead on the considerable task of
cataloguing, transcribing and commenting on the Greek papyri found
by Petrie in mummy cartonnage on recent digs in Egypt. This
three-volume collection is the result of his labours. The texts,
comprising private correspondence, legal records, petitions and
many other types of document, reveal a great deal about life in
Egypt in the third century BCE. Volume 2, first published in 1893,
contains eighteen autotype reproductions of key examples, as well
as an introduction on the deciphering of the papyri.
