Not for the absolute beginner, because the text is literally a copy of Faulkner's notes, and thus can be a little hard to make out if your eye hasn't previously been trained in. (  ) siriaeve | Apr 26, 2008 |  I couldn't read Egyptian without this thing. The handwriting's a little hard to read, though. (  ) sineala | Jul 6, 2007 | The standard dictionary used in college courses for study of Middle Egyptian. It is literally a copy of the handwritten notes of the professor, not typeset. Each word is cited from an original Egyptian text. (  ) drj | Jan 24, 2007 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0900416327, Hardcover)This concise dictionary of 'Middle Egyptian' - that phase of the Ancient Egyptian language which had the widest general application - contains 5400 carefully selected words most likely to be encountered by students and scholars in the course of their regular work on Egyptian texts. Each entry gives the most common hieroglyphic form of the word, accompanied by its transliteration, translation, references to texts where it occurs, its less usual hieroglyphic variants, and phrases in which it is used. First published in 1962 and incorporating addenda from 1966, this Concise Dictionary has become the standard work of reference and is now in its tenth printing.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:24 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
