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. First published in 1905 with
significant input from Mahaffy's colleague J. G. Smyly, Volume 3
contains seven autotype reproductions of key examples, as well as a
review by Mahaffy of the entire project and its scholarly
reception.
