Published in six volumes between 1894 and 1905, this collection
served as a valuable reference work for students and scholars of
Egyptology at a time when ongoing archaeological excavations were
adding significantly to the understanding of one of the world's
oldest civilisations. At the forefront of this research was Sir
William Matthew Flinders Petrie (1853-1942), whose pioneering
methods made Near Eastern archaeology a much more systematic and
scientific discipline. Many of his other publications are also
reissued in this series. Britain's first professor of Egyptology
from 1892, Petrie was conscious of the fact that there was no
textbook he could recommend to his students. The work of Weidemann
was in German and out of date, so Petrie and his collaborators
incorporated the latest theories and discoveries in this
English-language resource. Volume 5 (1898), written by Joseph
Grafton Milne (1867-1951), covers the period of Roman rule from 30
BCE to 642 CE.

Volumes 3-6, by other authors, extend the coverage up to 1517 CE.
