Hardcover. Zustand: Very good condition. First edition. Folio. xv, 44pp., 25 plates. Original burgundy cloth with gilt lettering on spine. "The history of the group of papyri to which the texts published in this volume belong has been recounted so fully by Sir Alan Gardiner in his recent book "The Ramesseum Papyri" (1935), Introduction, pp. I ff., that it needs no further description here. But it would, I think, be well to describe generally the present condition of these five papyri, since an account of the difficulties which they have presented may serve both to excuse some of the shortcomings of this work and to suggest ways of overcoming such difficulties when they are met with in other fragmentary papyri, Greek as well as Egyptian." (Introduction). Few in-text illustrations and twenty-five plates with papyri at rear. Contains appendix of the Verso Texts with commentary, indices of literary texts and the verso documents, followed by list of names of authors, books, and periodicals quoted in abbreviated form in the commentaries as well as abbreviations.

Hardcover. Zustand: vg to near fine. Reprint. Elephant Folio. (6)pp., 10 plates, 33 (8)pp. Original green cloth with gilt lettering on spine. Frontispiece collotype. "The Ashmolean ostracon of the Story of Sinuhe has been more fortunate than some other important texts from Egypt in that its two halves, discovered or disposed of separately, have been finally reunited. The lower half, which had been broken into several pieces and put together by the dealer from whom it was purchased, was presented to the Ashmolean Museum by [Sir] Alan Gardiner in 1940, after some work had already been done on it. Not long afterwards Professor J. Cerny, while in Egypt, recognized the upper half and secured it for the Museum, which purchased it with a subvention from [Sir] Alan Gardiner. The details of its original discovery are unknown, but it can safely be assumed to have come from Der-el-Medinah. It measures 31.5 cm in width by 88.5 cm in height, and is thus larger than the Cairo ostracon of sinuhe (Cat. 15216) known as C." (Preface). Illustrated with 10 plates in collotype, plus the frontispiece, followed by 33 pages of commentary. Contains conclusive text and index at rear. Binding with light wear along edges. Previous owner's name inked to inside front cover. Binding in overall very good, interior in near fine condition.…
