Description

Offers a straightforward and concise introduction to the language of Ancient Egypt. Hieroglyphs, the picture signs used in the famous pyramid texts, and the hieratic script derived from them are both covered in this manual. Dr Kamrin updates and revitalises this handbook by adding a new introduction, creating bi-directional glossaries and adding more hieroglyphs to the text. Recognising the complexity of the Egyptian language, Mercer devotes a full chapter to each main grammar point and includes exercises to reinforce the material. Extracts from pyramid texts and passages from Ancient Egyptian writing give the students valuable reading practice.
