Book Description
This enterprise represents an unrivaled & indispensable source of knowledge for the study of Ancient Egypt.
From the Back Cover
This volume presents a vast number of monuments and documents from almost all levels of Egyptian society during the long reign of Ramesses II. They range across social categories from grand viziers, viceroys of Nubia, chiefs of treasury and granaries, high priests and leading clerics of Egypt's principal gods, army generals and elite corps, through the high , middle and lower ranks of Egyptian society to the workmen who cut the royal tombs.
While many monuments are formal, even outwardly banal, they contain a mass of data on family geneaologies enabling us to trace the careers of many people. Some of these documents give unrivalled glimpses into the social and official life of early Ramesside Egypt; the Deir el-Medina material sheds much light on the organisation from construction of the royal tombs in the Valleys of the Kings and Queens. In all sections, a great many of these monuments and documents appear in English for the first time (for some, the first appearance in any modern language).
This volume, like its predecessors, gives a wide public full access to a vast range of inscriptions previously only intelligible to a few specialists.
