To read Egyptian one used
to have to be philologist, orientalist and cryptographer at once;
readers today may thank 200 years’ labor by Egyptologists from
Barthélemy to Bedge for the privilege of being able to read and study
hieroglyphic texts much as one studies any foreign language. The student
no longerneed compare pictographs with inscriptions in Coptic and Greek
on old stones and tablets: this basic guide to the Egyptian language,
first published in 1910 and now available for the first time in
paperback, remains the standard introduction by perhaps the most
prolific, erudite Egyptologist of the century.
