Ancient Egyptian Literature Vol I

Resource guide to selected publications and online materials on Ancient Egypt, including some neighbours, from Prehistory through the Roman-Byzantine periods (aimed mainly at students & public, but useful to other researchers), 2021

ABSTRACT: Preface to the Guide: Focus and limitations: The compilation of this guide began in Spring 2007 as a series of check lists and book requests for the somewhat small collection of Egyptological and related works in M. H. Sterne library at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. During the development of several courses on Ancient Egypt, the Ancient Near East, and other areas spanning Prehistory through to the Roman period (and later), the collection grew, and continues to expand, and began to require a research paper guide for students enrolled in courses dealing with these geographic areas and time periods. The nature of the prime cliental, namely undergraduate to MA students in a North American setting, in conjunction with limited funding, has steered –of necessity– the building of both Sterne library’s collections and this guide towards mostly English-language sources, less expensive works, and more easily available and more recent publications. Overall aims: In order to maximize student and public research usage of the existing, albeit still limited, collections, I have since compiled and incorporated selected journal articles, book chapters, encyclopedia entries, and other book titles from Sterne Library’s physical holdings (i.e., non-electronic sources) into diverse categories of research topics/subjects. In addition, every effort has been made to add a full listing of electronic sources (including links) available to researchers of the geographic and temporal areas covered by this guide (i.e., mainly Prehistoric to Roman period Egypt). The guide also provides general assistance for more serious/professional scholars (i.e., a quick reference to key articles, chapters, and volumes), but remains a tool aimed at English-speaking undergraduate-MA students and the public, focusing on Sterne’s holdings (note: other emerging Egyptological libraries will also approximate Sterne’s holdings). Design and usage: An attempt has been made to obtain sources spanning all aspects of Ancient Egypt and related areas, which have in-turn influenced the subdivision of the guide into general works, time periods, and diverse subject areas. Some of these categories have grown sufficiently large to merit further subdivision, such as the New Kingdom section, which has a general list of sources, materials regarding individual rulers, and a few affiliated topics of interest (Exodus; Sea Peoples). I have attempted to place each source (i.e., books; book chapters; encyclopedia entries; journal articles) under each pertinent topic category that it covers, but naturally I may have missed some categories, while there may be other complementary and broader works that cover such topics elsewhere. A list of the pertinent call number ranges has been placed at the end of the guide (see table of contents) to assist in the merits of additional shelf-browsing. Beyond the guide: Naturally there are numerous significant Egyptological sources outside Sterne Library’s holdings (including electronic links: e.g., JSTOR) that might be retrieved via interlibrary loan. Sterne Library’s current Egyptological resources, however, are sufficient to introduce most areas of Egyptological research, and enable the researcher to consult the endnotes/footnotes and bibliographic data listed in recent books, articles, and encyclopedia entries to compile a list of further resources that may either be accessed via interlibrary loan, or possibly by visiting directly a neighbouring professional Egyptological library: e.g., the instructor (UAB); Atlanta (Emory University); Memphis (Memphis State University). The collections in other Birmingham and Alabama libraries have online links via Sterne Library’s website, and offer many duplicate and different Egyptological works that are often accessible to the public/students: e.g., Birmingham Public Library, Gorgas Library (UA). Naturally, I encourage students, faculty, and public researchers to see me for further assistance with this guide and their research topics. Gregory Mumford (UAB) Update: 15 Jan., 2021 PLEASE NOTE: This resource has received substantial updates in pertinent sections within the guide. Some additional sorting of various articles/entries is still required, but these articles can be found, unsorted, at the end of the guide (e.g., articles from KMT, JSSEA, EA, etc., listed chronologically and by issue). I anticipate another update in the following year ...

rznn Tnn Cranruowr Gnaoua:rr Scuoor After general remarks on popularization, this review article considers three books written by Egyptologists for the non-specialist: Lalouette's Textes sacris et textes profones, James's Pharqoh's People, and Redford's Akhenaten. Lalouette's anthology exemplifies the traditional philological approach, providing access to a culture through texts; this highly competent book emphasizes literary and monumental writings and shows a "royalist" slant. James draws masterfully on a broader range of material-including documentary texts, representations and material culture-to provide an integrated cultural portrait highlighting the non-royal population of the New Kingdom; he explains the nature and limitations of the written sources. The reviewer notes recent work which draws upon the social sciences to help reconstruct ancient cultures. Redford shows us the historian and interpreter in action, discussing Akhenaten's reign in its historical and international context, the important East Karnak material, and the character of Akhenaten and his reforms. Some issues, e.g., the coregency, are not fully debated. The characterization of Akhenaten and his program is so negative and pointed as to suggest a "hidden agenda" of modern political commentary, though the reviewer iargely concurs with the assessment. A brief conclusion notes the importance of such books and the awareness they can promote among the public.
