The Faulkner Dictionary of Middle Egyptian is the gold standard for translation from Egyptian hieroglyphic texts to English. Glyphs are handwritten in the author's own style, easily read, and cross indexed to major Ancient and Middle Egyptian artifacts. No library for research into things Egyptian cannot be complete without this volumn.
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.
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.
