Review
... the anthology provides a well-balanced basis for further understanding of the intellectual legacy of Deir el-Medina. The incorporation of both lesser known texts and never published material fills a gap in the integrity of the textual material from the village of the craftsmen. (Archiv orientalni )
Although the book under review is addressed to a broad non-professional audience as well as scholars, it does not lose its scientific erudition. In fact, the book represents an important contribution to the understanding of the unique nature and legacy of the community of workmen that once built the magnificent royal tombs in the Valley of the Kings. (Archiv orientalni )
This is one of the best volumes on Deir el-Medina, and is an outstanding scholarly achievement, certain to prove useful to Egyptologist and historian alike. (Bryn Mawr Classical Review )
The results of painstaking and meticulous research do not always make thrilling reading for the non-academic. The documentary evidence that provides the basis for this book, however, is by turns amusing and enlightening, and always entertaining. Those who already have some knowledge of the lives of the workmen of Deir el-Medina will enjoy further detailed insights provided by this book. Those who are new to the subject will benefit from the well-written and illustrated introduction and enjoy the lively commentaries. (Ancient Egypt )
