Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Collection of Hieroglyphs: A Contribution to the History of Egyptian Writing The publication of detailed hieroglyphs, &c., in Beni Hasan III., seems to have met a want, to judge by the welcome with which it has been received in the scientific press. The criticisms of Maspero (Rev. Crit., xliii., pp. 201 et seqq.) and Borchardt (A.Z., 1897, pp. 103 et seqq.) have at once displayed how little is positively known with regard to the origins of individual signs, and furnished new material and ideas for the study of them. Piehl (Sphinx, ii., pp. 33 et seqq.) has also contributed some suggestions, and M. Loret, in a private letter, has communicated a number of interesting observations on those representing natural objects. At the last moment also appears a long and friendly notice by M. Foucart in the Rev. Arch. (Sér. iii., 1898, vol. xxii., pp. 20 et seqq.). The present work is in continuation of the task begun in Beni Hasan III.: that of ascertaining and illustrating the history and origins of the hieroglyphic characters. Much special study has meanwhile been devoted to the subject, and it is hoped that the present Memoir, besides being more elaborate, will show a marked advance in the explanation of the signs upon the somewhat hasty descriptions in the preceding volume. The greater number of the coloured facsimiles given herewith are from hieroglyphs of the XIIth Dynasty, copied by Mr. H. Carter (a few by Mr. Blackden), in the tomb of Tehutihetep at El Bersheh. This tomb has been already published - in outline only - in El Bersheh I. There is also a considerable collection of XVIIIth Dynasty signs from the temple of Deir el Bahri, beautifully copied by Miss R. F. E. Paget. The relief-sculpture and colouring of the inscriptions at Deir el Bahri are well known to be exceedingly fine. The signs selected are from parts of the temple already published by M. Naville, and the originals are in very good preservation. Lastly, Miss A. Pirie has most kindly presented to the Archaeological Survey, for use in the present volume, her facsimile drawings of a number of hieroglyphs from the tomb of Paheri at El Kab.
