This dictionary, containing 5400 carefully selected words
frequently encountered in
Middle Egyptian texts, has achieved wide popularity among
students starting to learn
Egyptian as well as among advanced scholars. The former find
this compact publication
very easy to use and fully satisfying their needs, while the
latter consult it for its
references to texts and articles published after the
appearance of the large Berlin
Worterbuch.
Each entry consists of the most common hieroglyphic form of
the word,
accompanied by its transliteration, translation, references to
texts where it occurs, its less
usual hieroglyphic variants, and phrases in which it is
used.
The book was autographed
by Dr. Faulkner himself in his clear and elegant hieroglyphic
hand. The seven pages of
Addenda and Corrigenda included in the reprint are also
available separately for use with
earlier editions of the Dictionary.
