Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

This is a reproduction of a book published before 1923. This book may have occasional imperfections such as missing or blurred pages, poor pictures, errant marks, etc. that were either part of the original artifact, or were introduced by the scanning process. We believe this work is culturally important, and despite the imperfections, have elected to bring it back into print as part of our continuing commitment to the preservation of printed works worldwide. We appreciate your understanding of the imperfections in the preservation process, and hope you enjoy this valuable book.

"Die Literatur der alten Agypter ist die alteste der Welt; sie geht geschichtlich bis zum Jahre 666 nach der Sundlut, 2781 vor Chr., 1800 vor Homer zuruck. Ihrem Umfange nach steht sie der griechischen und romischen nicht nach; schon Abulfeda versichert, sie werden 10,000 Bande fullen. Tatsachlich haben sich wenigstens 2000, zum Teil 60 Fuss lange Papyrusrollen, unzahlige Inschriften auf Tempelwanden, Obelisken, Pyramiden, Monolithen, Altaren, Sarkophagen, Mumienkasten, Utensilien, Stelen, Statuen, in Katakomben, Felsentempeln und Grotten erhalten. Die uralten heiligen Schriften der Agypter, ihre Geschichtswerke, Tempelannalen sind grossenteils noch vorhanden." ...] Der Agyptologe Gustav Seyffarth gibt mit dem vorliegenden Werk eine erste Anleitung zur Ubersetzung altagyptischer Literatur. Ausfuhrlich erlautert er die Schriftzeichen und die Grammatik. Erganzt wird dieser Band durch ein umfangreiches Hieroglyphenalphabet. Dieses Buch ist ein unveranderter Nachdruck der langst vergriffenen Originalausgabe von 1855."
