First published in 1973, this anthology has assumed classic status
in the field of Egyptology and portrays the remarkable evolution of
the literary forms of one of the world's earliest civilizations.
Beginning with the early and gradual evolution of Egyptian genres,
it includes biographical and historical inscriptions carved on
stone, the various classes of works written with pen on papyrus,
and the mortuary literature that focuses on life after death. It
then shows the culmination of these literary genres within the
single period known as the New Kingdom (1550-1080 B.C.) and ends in
the last millennium of Pharaonic civilization, from the tenth
century B.C. to the beginning of the Christian era. An introduction
written in three parts by Antonio Loprieno, Hans-W. Fischer-Elfert,
and Joseph G. Manning completes this classic anthology.
