Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. What do we know about the writings of ancient Egypt, two hundred years after Jean-Francois Champollion deciphered hieroglyphs? This Guide answers the question in an easily accessible format, presenting the current state of knowledge on the different scripts that were used in the Land of Pharaohs. The reader will find more than fifty articles written by specialists, presenting the diversity of scripts in time and space, explaining the main principles of their functioning, and describing the main contexts in which they were used. The guide begins by offering an overview of the scripts of Egypt, from the appearance of hieroglyphs up to the introduction of Arabic writing. It then explores the multiple aspects of hieroglyphic writing: the number of glyphs and their classification, the relationship between written glyphs and figurative representations, the organization in space and the materiality of hieroglyphs, the relationship of hieroglyphic writing to spoken language, as well as the play on symbols and other so-called enigmatic uses. Finally, the guide focuses on the main uses of writing in ancient Egypt. Learning how to write, the use of movable and monumental material, inscriptions on objects and graffiti, the destruction of writing and systems of symbols are all practices that are considered. The use of writing for specific purposes-such as administrative, funerary or magical-or in specific socio-historical contexts is also adressed. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Soft cover. Condition: New. 344 pages in French. 'Le guide propose dans un premier temps un panorama des écritures d Égypte, depuis l apparition des hiéroglyphes jusqu à l introduction de l écriture arabe. Il explore ensuite les multiples facettes de l écriture hiéroglyphique : le nombre de signes et leur classification, la relation entre signes d écriture et représentations figurées, l organisation spatiale et la matérialité des hiéroglyphes, l adossement de l écriture hiéroglyphique à la langue orale, ainsi que les jeux sur les signes et autres emplois dits énigmatiques. Enfin, il s intéresse aux principaux usages de l écrit en Égypte ancienne. Apprentissage de l écriture, utilisation des supports mobiles et monumentaux, inscription des objets et graffiti, destructions de l écrit et systèmes de marques sont autant de pratiques envisagées. L emploi de l écriture à des fins particulières administratives, funéraires ou magiques, par exemple ou dans des contextes socio-historiques spécifiques est également abordé.'.…
