New Books Fall 2015 Letter from the Director

This season we are proud to be publishing the second part of Jason Thomp- son’s acclaimed history of Egyptology, Wonderful Things (pages 2–3). The first part, published earlier this year, garnered exceptional praise from historians and Egyptologists alike: Jaromir Malek called it “a remarkable achievement,” while Morris Bierbrier hailed it as “the definitive reference tool for anyone interested in the development of this academic discipline.” Aidan Dodson has revisited and updated his classic account of the ancient rulers of Egypt, to produce a new revised edition of Monarchs of the Nile (page 4), bringing all the most recent research and discoveries to bear on the story. Meanwhile, Donald Reid excavates the politics behind the archaeology in a fascinating look at the intersection between modern nationalism and ancient history in Contesting Antiquity in Egypt (page 7). As the security struggle in Sinai between insurgents and the Egyptian military continues to fill the daily headlines, Egyptian journalist Mohannad Sabry, who has been reporting on the ground in the peninsula for longer and in more depth than most others, looks at the state of this unique triangle of land in the modern age and its crucial significance for the three regional actors to whom it most matters: Sinai: Egypt’s Linchpin, Gaza’s Lifeline, Isra- el’s Nightmare (page 19). Ibn Battuta was the medieval world’s greatest traveler, and he left an account of his journeys to West Africa, East Africa, Spain, Russia, India, and China among other places in clear and elegant Classical Arabic. Now, stu- dents of Arabic can explore his world through the original Arabic text with a new structured guided reader, The Travels of Ibn Battuta, by David DiMeo and Inas Hassan (page 27). In The Traditional Jewelry of Egypt (pages 20–21), world-famous jewelry designer and collector Azza Fahmy tells the story of adornment in Egypt’s deserts, oases, villages, and cities, illustrated with beautiful color photo- graphs of many of the finest pieces from her private collection. This is a special treat for fans and aficionados of ethnic jewelry. Finally, we present two additions to our series of small but exquisitely elegant readers: A Nile Anthology, edited by Deborah Manley and Sahar Abdel-Hakim (page 23) and An Istanbul Anthology, edited by Kaya Genç (pages 24–25). Both contain gems of early travel writing by such diverse visitors as Gustave Flaubert, Mark Twain, Florence Nightingale, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, accompanied by evocative antique engravings and photographs. Both will make perfect gifts for nostalgia seekers in love with Egypt’s great river and with one of the world’s great cities. Dr. Nigel Fletcher-Jones [email protected] History of Egyptology

A gripping analysis of the results of the groundbreaking imaging technology used to examine the royal mummies of the New Kingdom, by leading experts in the field

The royal mummies in the Cairo Museum are an important source of informa- tion about the lives of the ancient Egyptians. The remains of these pharaohs and queens can inform us about their age at death and medical conditions from which they may have suffered, as well as the mummification process and objects placed within the wrappings.

Ibn Tulun His Lost City and Great Mosque Tarek Swelim

A fully illustrated history of the man, the mosque, and the city by a leading scholar

Ahmad ibn Tulun (835–84), the son of a Turkic slave in the Abbasid court of Baghdad, became the founder of the first independent state in Egypt since antiquity, and builder of Egypt’s short-lived third capital of the Islamic era, al-Qata’i‘ and its great congregational mosque. After recounting the story of Ibn Tulun and his successors, architectural historian Tarek Swelim presents a topographic survey of al-Qata’i‘, a city lost since its complete destruction in 905. He then provides a detailed architectural analysis of the Mosque of Ibn Tulun, which was spared the destruction and is now the oldest surviving mosque in Egypt and Africa, from the time of its completion until today. Rare archival illustrations and early photographs document the changing appear- ance and uses of the mosque in modern times, while extraordinary 3D com- puter renderings take us back in time to recreate its architectural development through its early centuries. Plans, drawings, and maps complement the history, Contents while striking modern color photographs showcase the elegant simplicity of the building’s architecture and decoration.

The Traditional Jewelry of Egypt Azza Fahmy

The story of urban, rural, and desert jewelry in modern Egypt, in a beautifully designed new edition

For many women of Egypt, their jewelry is their bank—they wear their wealth in their gold. But jewelry in Egypt is also more than mere assets, and its design and manufacture reveal a great array of styles and a high degree of skill and artistry. In this lavishly illustrated book, Azza Fahmy, herself a world-renowned designer of jewelry based on traditional motifs, lays before us an Aladdin’s cave of jewelry made in all corners of Egypt over the last one hundred years, collected through her extensive travels throughout the country. From the farms and villages of the Nile Valley and Delta, from the oases of the Western Desert and the mountains and wadis of Sinai and the East- Also available: ern Desert, from Nubia in the south, and from the crowded traditional neighborhoods of Cairo is displayed a cornucopia of gold and silver adorn- ment—each area with its own distinctive favored style. Personal seals have been widely employed, and there is even jewelry for special occasions, such as the appeasement of malignant spirits, and for animals. In this completely redesigned edition of her bestselling book, in a new and elegant format, the author not only documents all these varieties and illustrates them with the finest examples, she also describes the techniques and skills involved in their production and the materials used, and recounts her own journey of learning as she apprenticed with the leading master jewelers to become the best known jeweler in Egypt, whose work is worn by world leaders, royalty, and connoisseurs of jewelry around the globe.

Azza Fahmy was born and raised in Sohag, in Upper Egypt. She graduated in interior design from the Faculty of Fine Arts, became the first female apprentice to several of the best jewelers in Cairo, and studied jewelry craft at the City of London Polytechnic. She now makes and markets her own jewelry internationally. 230pp. Hbd. 200 color illus. September. 978-977-416-720-1. LE300. World.
