The Aim of Professor Kenneth Kitchen's Magisterial Ramesside Inscriptions Is Simple—To Make Available the Principal Historic Author: Kenneth A. Kitchen Subject: Egypt; Ramesside Period; Ancient Egyptian Texts; Political & Social History; Economy; Deir el-Medina. ISBN: 978 0 9930920 6 0 Publication Date: March 2020 Copyright Year: 2020 Format: Hardback Pages: xxvii + 855 pp. Imprint: Abercromby Press Price: £59.95 (exclusive of postage) Orders: Email: [email protected] The aim of Professor Kenneth Kitchen’s magisterialRamesside Inscriptions is simple—to make available the principal historical and biographical texts of the Ramesside age (c.1300–1070 bc) in a comprehensive, compact and accurate edition that should be comprehensive but handy to use. It does not, however, include purely literary, ritual and funerary texts. This book presents the hieroglyphic texts from the long, prosperous and relatively well-sourced reign of Ramesses II (c.1279–1213 bc). The previous volume (II) made available the ‘official’ and royal records issued or engraved in the king’s name, personifying (as he did) the effective government of ancient Egypt for his time. Here, by contrast, we have records that concern pri- marily, or were left us by, the king’s subjects at all levels of society, from viziers and viceroys at the head of the royal administration (along with priesthoods and the military) down through society’s echelons to the workmen who laboured in the royal tombs in Western Thebes (based in Deir el-Medina village) and the humble folk that served them. For Deir el-Medina, both collective (‘official’) records and the mementos of individuals and families have been kept to- gether, not to split up data that in effect belong together. First published in twenty-eight individual fascicles between 1978 and 1980 by B. H. Blackwell (Oxford), this volume is re-printed here for the first time in a single, handsome, book.

DOI: 10.29353/rime.2018.1671 P. Turin Provv. 3581: An Eighteenth Dynasty Letter from the Valley of the Queens in Context Kathrin Gabler, Daniel Soliman This contribution offers the first description, transcription, translation and commentary of a hieratic letter, P. Turin Provv. 3581, and discusses its social context on the basis of the named individuals in the message. In addition, the delivery route of the letter and its find-spot are analysed. The document can be dated to the Eighteenth Dynasty and may have been found in or near one of the tombs from this period in the Valley of the Queens. Seemingly sent from Thebes by the overseer of the treasury Djehutynefer, the letter provides new insights into the administration of Eighteenth Dynasty burials, and indicates that Ineni, the mayor of Thebes, was still involved with the construction of tombs at this time. ملخص ملخص البحث: البحث: تقدم تقدم هذه هذه المساهمة المساهمة الوصف الوصف والنصوص والنصوص والترجمة والترجمة والتعليق والتعليق اﻷولي اﻷولي على على البردية البردية الهيراطيقية "الهيراطيقية ")بردية )بردية رقم رقم 3581 3581 المتحف المتحف المالمصرصير في يف تيو تريونروين( و( (P.،"(P.(P.

  • Three Conquests of Canaan
    ÅA Wars in the Middle East are almost an every day part of Eero Junkkaala:of Three Canaan Conquests our lives, and undeniably the history of war in this area is very long indeed. This study examines three such wars, all of which were directed against the Land of Canaan. Two campaigns were conducted by Egyptian Pharaohs and one by the Israelites. The question considered being Eero Junkkaala whether or not these wars really took place. This study gives one methodological viewpoint to answer this ques- tion. The author studies the archaeology of all the geo- Three Conquests of Canaan graphical sites mentioned in the lists of Thutmosis III and A Comparative Study of Two Egyptian Military Campaigns and Shishak and compares them with the cities mentioned in Joshua 10-12 in the Light of Recent Archaeological Evidence the Conquest stories in the Book of Joshua. Altogether 116 sites were studied, and the com- parison between the texts and the archaeological results offered a possibility of establishing whether the cities mentioned, in the sources in question, were inhabited, and, furthermore, might have been destroyed during the time of the Pharaohs and the biblical settlement pe- riod. Despite the nature of the two written sources being so very different it was possible to make a comparative study. This study gives a fresh view on the fierce discus- sion concerning the emergence of the Israelites. It also challenges both Egyptological and biblical studies to use the written texts and the archaeological material togeth- er so that they are not so separated from each other, as is often the case.

The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt – Toby Wilkinson This single-volume history of Egypt spans 3,000 years and draws from archaeological examples to paint a vivid and more realistic view of this ancient civilization. “I had always presumed, before I read Wilkinson’s book, that it was impossible to write a history of Egypt which combined scholarship, accessibility and a genuine sense of revelation. I was wrong.” --Tom Holland, The Observer Call #: DT83 .W658 2010 4. The Rosetta Stone and the Rebirth of Ancient Egypt – John Ray This is a delightful introduction to not only the Rosetta Stone, but also the growth and development of modern Egyptology.
