Item #M12119

Alter Orient und Altes Testament 448. Ugarit-Verlag, Münster, 2018. First edition. In-8, xiv & 333 pages. Original cloth, a fine copy. From the library of Egyptologist Charles Cornell Van Siclen III (VSX). Abstract: This book offers a transliteration and translation of a text that has long been referred to as a 'mystery papyrus.' The scribes of Papyrus Amherst 63 used the Demotic script to put down in writing a compilation of Aramaic texts. This unusual combination of script and language necessitates the collaboration of scholars from different disciplines. Since the papyrus is not a merely linguistic puzzle but a challenge too in terms of its religious and historical background, no scholar is likely to singlehandedly solve the enigmas of the text. Language: English. Relevant subjects: Egypt: Language, Texts & Writing, Demotic Studies, Levant, Semitic Epigraphy and Languages.

Language: English.
