Item description from seller

Xiii, 400 pp. Works consulted. Heavily illustrated with maps, diagrams and b/w photos & drawings. A square quarto, in dull grey covers. Corners and extremities are rubbed, a small scar on the spine covering, starting to split a bit at bottom back of spine but still holding fine. Interio has a small stain in the margin on page V, a very few occasional light pencil marks, otherwise clean and unmarked. Obviously read and used but still quite respectable and usable. Heavy for international shipping. Limited edition of 1000. "The aim of this book is to examine.a specific group of inscribed materials from the Memphite necropolis. This material dates to the late Old Kingdom-Herakleopolitan Period, and comes from tombs belonging to officials of various ranks and social standing. Some of the stelae and other inscribed fragments, offering tables, side pieces, and blocks have been published, others are looked at here for the first time. This book, however, is the first work to bring all this material together as comprehensively as possible in order to fully assess its extent and importance. It will examine the distribution of the Herakleopolitan Period cemeteries in the vast necropolis of Memphis to analyse each individual cemetery, and its development through this period, and to invetigate the architectural remains of the chapels of that period to cast light on their design. A major focus is the examination of the tomb stelae, their orientation, development, and their inscriptions in comparison with contemporary stelae from provincial cemeteries, particularly Dendara, Naga-ed Deir, Akhmim, Ashmunein, Asyut, Edfu and Thebes." ; Studies in Calligraphy & Writings; Vol. 14; 4to 11" - 13" tall; 400 pages.
