Hieroglyphs are the picture signs used in the ancient pyramid texts, and the hieratic script derived from them are both covered in this manual, offering a concise introduction to the language of Ancient Egypt. This edition contains a new introduction, bi-directional glossaries and more hieroglyphs. Recognizing the complexity of the Egyptian language, the author devotes a chapter to each grammar point and includes exercises to reinforce the information provided. Extracts from pyramid texts and passages from Ancient Egyptian writing provide reading practice.

4.0 out of 5 stars
This is an accurate book about Egyptian,

This review is from: Handbook of Egyptian Hieroglyphs: A Study of the Ancient Language (Paperback)
I like this book, but it is quite difficult to use. In it, the author criticizes Budge by saying that he is inaccurate, but I think that Budge is just at accurate in his own way as Mercer is in his. Budge, on the other hand, makes it easier to understand Egyptian.
