The University College London Lahun (Middle Kingdom) papyri
constitute one of the most remarkable harvests of papyri of any
age. This volume communicates the content of the surviving letters
and letter fragments from the Petrie excavations at Lahun in an
accessible and affordable format. The letters and fragments are
from original letters: model letters, letter copies, and reports
are reserved for future publications. The volume is intended not
only for Egyptological researchers, but also for learners in higher
and further education. This mass of writing calls for a more
nuanced appreciation of the roles of writing and reading, and the
social reach of the written culture across the different classes,
ages, genders inhabiting this architecture and landscape. (The
reader will find three means of access to the original content:
Printed pages with transcriptions, transliterations, and
translations: A printed index: The entire collection of papyri on
an accompanying CD.)
