This book contains approximately fifty late Egyptian texts,
published for the first time. The texts represent an interesting
range of document types, a range of demotic handwriting, and
include a rare word list and a new mythological narrative. There is
also one late hieratic text concerned with temple land, and some
Greek fragments from the Byzantine period. The texts were purchased
by Professor Suzuki in the early 1960s from various dealers in
Cairo. The bulk of the collection, now housed in the Department of
Asian Civilization, School of Letters at Tokai University as part
of the Ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern Collection (AENET),
consists of early demotic texts. This book is a result of a
five-year collaboration between Tokai University, Yale University,
Johns Hopkins University, The University of Michigan, and the
Staatliche Museum, Â Berlin.
