Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1. THE HUMAN REALITY BEHIND THE PHARAOHS. Beyond the monumental tombs, temples, and statues that have shaped popular images of ancient Egypt lies a far more complex history of rulers, political struggles, religious institutions, and royal life. In The Book of the Pharaohs, Egyptologists Pascal Vernus and Jean Yoyotte examine the pharaohs not simply as names on monuments, but as historical figures within the political, cultural, and social world of ancient Egypt. This comprehensive reference work presents short essays on individual rulers, dynasties, places, institutions, and themes connected with Egyptian kingship. Entries range from major figures such as Cheops, Akhenaten, and Ramesses II to lesser-known personalities and subjects that illuminate the broader realities of royal power. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: Bound in publisher's red cloth with gilt spine lettering. Illustrated dust jacket with Egyptian motifs and typography. Octavo volume measuring approximately 9.5 inches tall. The text consists of approximately 250 pages, including preliminary material, dictionary entries, bibliography, maps, chronology, and reference material. Illustrated with maps, chronological tables, and black-and-white decorative illustrations relating to ancient Egypt. Designed as a scholarly yet accessible reference work, the volume combines encyclopedia-style entries with supporting bibliographical and historical resources. CONDITION: Fine/Fine. No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE: THE PHARAOHS AS HISTORICAL FIGURES - The pharaohs of ancient Egypt have long occupied a unique place in world history, yet surviving monuments often reveal only fragments of the individuals and institutions behind royal power. Vernus and Yoyotte's work examines Egyptian kingship through political history, religion, administration, and personal biography, providing a fuller portrait of the civilization's rulers. A MODERN GUIDE TO ANCIENT EGYPT. Published by Cornell University Press, The Book of the Pharaohs represents modern Egyptological scholarship presented in a format accessible to general readers. Its combination of concise biographies, thematic essays, reference materials, and chronological organization makes it a useful companion for students, collectors, and readers interested in the history and culture of ancient Egypt. SUBJECTS: Ancient Egypt, Pharaohs, Egyptian Dynasties, Egyptian Kingship, Cleopatra, Akhenaten, Ramesses II, Egyptian Religion, Political History, Archaeology, Near Eastern Studies, Egyptology, Ancient History, Reference Works, Historical Biography, Archaeology, Cultural History, Academic Publishing.

Hardback. Condition: New. The names of ancient Egyptian kings such as Cheops, Akhenaten, and Ramesses II have become part of popular culture. Yet, for all the tombs and statuary that have survived over the millennia, surprisingly little remains that speaks to the workings of government, cabals in the palace, political factions, and the private lives of the royal families. In The Book of the Pharaohs, Pascal Vernus and Jean Yoyotte offer an indispensable, basic reference to the full human reality of royal Egypt. The Book of the Pharaohs is an encyclopedia made up of short essays on the pharaohs themselves, as well as on places, dynasties, personages, subjects, and themes relating to the kings and their rule. Entries range from "Adoratrices" (priestesses of Hathor, the Egyptian Aphrodite, whose role was to arouse the erotic impulse in the creator gods) and "Amarna" (the capital created by the heretic pharaoh Akhenaten) to "Scorpion" (who ruled before the unification of Upper and Lower Egypt) and "Zero Dynasty" (the designation for pre-pharaonic Egypt). In addition, Vernus and Yoyotte include a substantial essay on the sources for Egyptian history, a bibliography of books for general readers, and a chronological table that organizes the major periods of Egyptian history and notes the most illustrious royal names from each.…
