A Great Classic Returns,
By Dana Kramer-Rolls (Richmond, CA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Cat in Ancient Egypt (Hardcover)
The reprint of L. and B. Langton's classic The Cat in Ancient Egypt is a welcome addition to the library of any professional or amateur Egyptologist, cat lover, or modern Pagan with a dedication to Bast. First published in 1940 (and now only available used at a spectacular price) this volume combines both the best of catalogue (no pun intended) studies and social and cultural analysis. It is never dry! While modern archeological techniques have added much to our general knowledge, the comprehensiveness and sheer love and dedication of this work represents the finest of the tradition of old fashioned diggers and collectors. The photographs in the 1940 edition are, unfortunately, grainy, but the number and variety of cats, cat goddesses, votive objects, and lions more than makes up for the lack. I anxiously await my own copy. (Review based on the 1940 edition)
