Product Description

This concise dictionary of 'Middle Egyptian' - that phase of the Ancient Egyptian language which had the widest general application - contains 5400 carefully selected words most likely to be encountered by students and scholars in the course of their regular work on Egyptian texts. Each entry gives 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. First published in 1962 and incorporating addenda from 1966, this Concise Dictionary has become the standard work of reference and is now in its tenth printing.

5.0 out of 5 stars This amazing book, is a tribute to a man's careful obssessio, 3 Jul 1999

By A Customer

Faulkner's egyptian Dictionary, along with Gardiners Egyptian Grammar, is one of the two key works in the library of any scholar of middle egyptian. Both are important works for the student, but I, having given up studying egyptian some years ago, still look through Faulkner on occasions simply in order to turn the pages of an immense and pioneering piece of scholarship which would otherwise languish rather forgotten.

Faulkner, writing in a time before the development of Egyptian typefaces, hand wrote each page of the disctionary in a beautiful neat hand. The disctionary is therefore one of the few works still in publication which could be considered a "hand written book". So what? A million medieval monks spent their times in the copying of concordances and the illumination of bibles. True. But they were working in their mother tongue - Latin for the most part. Faulkner was working in a language which was almost entirely unknown and undocumented. Each one of his entries must therefore have been the result of a small but significant measure of careful scholarship- and one that has clearly stood the test of other academics' critisms. If you are a student of Egyptian, you probably already have this book. But even if you aren't, buy it anyway, because it is one of the most unusual curiosities in the literary world.

5.0 out of 5 stars egyptian dictionary, 13 Mar 2003

By A Customer

This is the best dictionary I have seen around. It only contains egyptian - english and not english - egyptian, though. Still, a must for anyone studying or translating hieroglyphs and it has been a huge help to me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Useability of Faulkner's Concise Middle Egyptian Dictionary., 21 Feb 2002

By A Customer

In terms of content Faulner is a valuable resource for any student of middle egyptian. However, as a dictionary, I would rate it's usebility as very low. The 'handwritten' test is very hard on the eye and as a result not very user-friendly in terms of ease and convenience when looking up items.
