The A to Z of Ancient and Medieval Nubia covers the period from the
Paleolithic, all the periods of ancient Nubia (Predynastic, Kerma,
Dynasty XXV, Napatan, Meroitic, Post-Meroitic) and to the end of
medieval Christianity in Nubia (Sudan). This resource focuses on
Nubian history through a Nubian perspective, rather than on the
more common Egypto-centrism perspective, and the coverage is based
on the latest and best archaeological and epigraphic evidence.
Newly created maps of the general area and its specific regions and
place names and a photospread showing important related features of
the region are included. A detailed chronology provides a timeline
of historical events, and an introductory narrative shapes the
overall history and leads to the main body of the work in the form
of a cross-referenced dictionary. The descriptive entries cover the
main features of the region in the various periods that are key not
only to Nubian events, but also to the important interactions they
had with Egypt to the north. Nine appendixes and an extensive
bibliography conclude this work. Lobban has been teaching Nubian
studies in undergraduate classrooms for 30 years, and this book is
a product of his hands-on experiences as well as extensive
anthropological fieldwork and travel in Sudanese and Egyptian
Nubia.
