This new volume repairs a significant gap in the British Museum's
Egyptian catalogue series. The first to be devoted to ostraca, as
opposed to other inscribed media, it publishes in full the British
Museum's collection of hieratic, hieroglyphic and figured ostraca
of the Ramesside Period. This is a large, rich and varied
collection covering the entire range of known text-types,
documentary, literary and religious. The texts include duplicates
of well-known literary works, hymns to Amun and other gods and
goddesses, a considerable variety of administrative documents, and
a whole series of previously unknown texts. The wide spectrum of
subjects treated in the administrative texts demonstrates the vital
importance of the information furnished by the written documents
from the necropolis workers' community of Deir el-Medina, from
which most of the ostraca originate. Each ostracon is presented
with a photograph and where the text is in hieratic, transcriptions
are provided. The catalogue is organised according to British
Museum inventory number for ease of reference, but a separate list
of the ostraca according to subject provides a guide to the reader
interested in a particular group of texts.
