Conversations in the House of Life A New Translation of the Ancient Egyptian Book of Thoth by Richard Jasnow and Karl-Theodor Zauzich This volume offers a new translation of a text first published as The Ancient Egyptian Book of Thoth (2005). The composition is a dialogue between a Master, perhaps the god Thoth himself, and a Disciple, named “The-one-who-loves-knowledge.” Originally written in Demotic, the text dates to the Graeco-Roman Period (ca. 300 BC to 400 AD). The dialogue covers everything from how to hold the writing brush and the symbolic significance of scribal utensils to a long exposition on sacred geography. The work may be an initiation text dealing with sacred knowledge. It is closely associated with the House of Life, the scriptorium where the wrote their books. Conversations in the House of Life is intended for the general reader. The revised translation reflects recent advances in our understanding of the text. The explanatory essays, commentary, and glossary help the reader explore the fascinating universe of the Book of Thoth. 244p (Harrassowitz Verlag, March 2014) paperback, 9783447101165, $30.00.

Karanis Revealed Discovering the Past and Present of a Michigan Excavation in Egypt edited by T.G. Wilfong, with the assistance of Andrew W.S. Ferrara In 2011 and 2012, the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology presented the exhibition Karanis Revealed in two parts, using artifacts from the excavations and archival material to explore aspects of the site and its excavation in the 1920s and 1930s. As preparation for the exhibition progressed, it became clear that part of the story of the Michigan Karanis expedition lay in the current and ongoing research on the material it yielded by curators, faculty, staff, and students from the University of Michigan. This volume summarizes the exhibition and presents some of the new research that inspired it. 200p, 152 illus (Kelsey Museum Publications, June 2014, Kelsey Museum Publication 7) paperback, 9780974187396, $24.95.

Interpretations of Sinuhe Inspired by Two Passages edited by H. M. Hays, F. Feder and L. D. Morenz The Tale of Sinuhe is the best-known text from ancient Egypt, and also the one about which the most has been written. And yet its depths have not been fully fathomed, in respect neither to its cultural and literary value, nor to its grammar and lexicon. This volume takes as its starting point two passages from the famous story: one from the beginning, and one from the end. The idea is that the text can be opened up through them, from the inside out. The ten essays of this volume discuss the Tale from many different viewpoints, bringing new insights to its grammar, its literary ambition, and its cultural setting. 243p (Peeters Publishers, April 2014, Egyptologische Uitgaven - Egyptological Publications 27) paperback, 9789042931220, $61.00.

Elephantine XXXV The Lithic Industries on Elephantine Island during the 3rd Millennium BC by Thomas Hikade With nearly 5000 years of continuous occupation and stratigraphy, the island of Elephantine is one of the most important archaeological sites in Egypt. This volume on the lithic industries analyzes more than 10,000 lithic artifacts of the 3rd millennium BC (Early Dynastic to First Intermediate Period) excavated in more than 20 campaigns (1984–2004). It discusses the primary and the secondary industries of the site, presenting the stone tool assemblage from various parts of the settlement in detailed tables, charts, and line drawings. In some cases the analysis is so detailed as to cover the archaeological context of a single room of a house. The author also discusses the various raw materials used in the making of Egyptian stone tools, and he places the lithic industries into the broader context of the Egyptian economic system. 210p, illus (Harrassowitz Verlag, March 2014, Archäologische Veröffentlichungen des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts 121) hardcover, 9783447101318, $112.00.
