Inaugurated by the Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiqui‐ L@ ties Dr. Zahi Hawass, the Director General of the Egyptian L@ Museum Dr. Wafaa al Saddik, and the exhibit’s curator Dr. L@ Patrizia Piacentini, the exhibition was the product of close cooperation between the Supreme Council of Antiquities, L@ the Egyptian Museum and the Chair of Egyptology of the L@ University of Milan. For the first time ever, some 50 docu‐ L@ ments belonging to the archaeologist Victor Loret, which had previously been housed in the Egyptological Archives of L@ the University of Milan, were on display together with 20 L@ key objects discovered by Loret and housed in the Egyptian L@ Museum. The exhibition included some of his beautiful wa‐ ter‐colour paintings of monuments and objects, and was L@ very much like stepping back in time to the era of this great L@ archaeologist.

MUSEUM ACTIVITIES Egyptian Museum Sections L@ L@ THE EGYPTIAN MUSEUM BASEMENT From the early days of the Museum, ob‐ L@ jects not on display were stored in the L@ basement beneath the floor of the Mu‐ L@ seum. For a hundred years, pottery, sar‐ cophagi, statuary, amulets, and even an‐ L@ cient human remains, have been accumu‐ L@ lating from a variety of archaeological mis‐ L@ sions, both foreign and Egyptian. These were mostly stored in crates marked merely with the provenance and the L@ name of the mission. Antiquities confiscated from a variety of dubious sources have also found their way into the L@ basement. With all that, the underground passages of the Egyptian Museum overflowed with objects from Egypt’s L@ Predynastic to Islamic Periods. This multitude of antiquities was not documented until 1959–1960 when the first basement registers were compiled. Sadly, this task was not completed as a mere 20,000 objects were registered. L@ By 2004, the basement was in dire need of a rescue operation /refurbishment L@ to reorganise its contents, register them, and protect them, as many were in L@ poor condition. Thus started a project to reorganise the basement and put it L@ on the first steps to becoming a world‐class storage/display facility. Under the direction of Sabah Abdel Razek, the basement became recognised as the Mu‐ L@ seum’s eighth section.s Thi project started with registration of the previously L@ unregistered objects and the resorting/reshelving of what had already been L@ registered. It included building new shelving systems and cabinets for display‐ ing and storing objects. Some 500 skulls which have been previously left to L@ collect dust in the basement, as see on the left photo, have been studied and L@ packed safely. L@ After a clean‐up of available space and restoration of the ceilings and supports, offices are being prepared for a conservation laboratory, a photography labora‐ L@ tory/studio, curators’ offices, exhibition preparation facilities and spaces for L@ scholarly work. Room 56 in the basement has already been prepared as a DNA L@ Laboratory. Room 57 has been prepared as offices for the curators, and of L@ course, as it is not only underground but also in a hot climate, ventilation and air‐ conditioning systems are being installed to help us survive the Cairo heat and hu‐ L@ midity.

  • Middle East Studies
    Middle East Studies New & Forthcoming Books Fall 2017 Letter from the Director It gives me great pleasure to present our new and forthcoming scholarly and general titles in Middle East Studies. Bringing rich ethnographic and field-based research to the AUC Press list are Gender Justice and Legal Reform in Egypt, which examines the interplay between legal reform and gender norms and practices in Egypt, and Gypsies in Contemporary Egypt, a study of Gypsies in modern-day Cairo and Alexandria. Economist Khalid Ikram’s A Political Economy of Reforms in Egypt (forthcoming) provides a fascinating and richly informed analysis of Egypt’s economic development since 1952. Ethiopia: The Living Churches of an Ancient Kingdom, by Mary Anne Fitzgerald with Philip Marsden, contains stunning color photographs of some of the world’s most extraordinary churches, including many never before seen in print. In his beautifully illustrated Orientalist Lives (forthcoming), James Parry asks what brought painters and photographers in the nineteenth century to Arab lands and looks at how they traveled, lived, worked, and fared. And in our History and Biography section, Marcus Simaika, by Samir Simaika and Nevine Henein, recounts the life and times of the extraordinary founder of the Coptic Museum, while lives in exile and dramatic histories are movingly narrated in Neslishah: The Last Ottoman Princess and Farewell Shiraz. Dr. Nigel Fletcher-Jones For Authors We welcome proposals for scholarly monographs and general books concerning the Middle East and North African regions on a broad variety of topics including, but not limited to, Egyptology, eastern Mediterranean archaeology, art history, medieval and modern history, ethnography, environmental studies, migration, urban studies, gender, art and architectural history, religion, Middle-Eastern politics, political economy, and Arabic language learning.

    New Books Spring 2017 Cover: Johann Discart, L’Atelier de Poterie, Tanger (detail); see Orientalist Journeys, page 20. Letter from the Director As the appetite in Europe and America for images of Middle Eastern scenes and subjects grew in the nineteenth century into something of a craze, more and more painters and photographers traveled to the Arab lands to test their artistic mettle. In the beautifully illustrated Orientalist Lives: Western Artists in the Middle East, 1830–1920 (pages 20–21), James Parry asks what brought this disparate group of men and women to the region, how they traveled, lived, dressed, worked, interacted with the locals (and each other), and how they made their fortunes—or didn’t. Hassan Fathy is widely regarded as Egypt’s most influential modern archi- tect. In a new set of essays by leading specialists, illustrated with more than 300 photographs, plans, and elevations, the great man’s life and work are exam- ined in unprecedented detail in Hassan Fathy: An Architectural Life, edited by Leïla el-Wakil (pages 2–3). Other lives are revealed this season in Farewell Shiraz: An Iranian Memoir of Revolution and Exile by Cyrus Kadivar (page 17); a biography of the founder of Cairo’s Coptic Museum, Marcus Simaika: Father of Coptic Archaeology by Samir Simaika and Nevine Henein (page 28); and the autobiography of the first (and so far only) woman to become director of Cairo’s famed Egyptian Museum, Protecting Pharaoh’s Treasures: My Life in Egyptology by Wafaa El Saddik (page 23). And life and its daily realities for ordinary people in an extraordinary and fractured place are intimately revealed by Italian journalist Paola Caridi in her moving reportage Jerusalem without God: Portrait of a Cruel City (page 19).

In particular we wish to thank the North Texas Chapter of ARCE and especially their president, Clair Ossian, for much assistance and support. Thank you to ARCE’s very hard working Annual Meeting Committee that was chaired by Kara Cooney, and included Emily Teeter, Betsy Bryan, Rick Moran, and Rachel Mauldin.
