Product Description

Product Description

Although the first edition of the study appeared over seventy years ago, Gardiner's Egyptian Grammar remains the most comprehensive presentation of Middle Egyptian available, and is still an essential reference tool for all advanced work in the language. The latest, third, edition, appeared in 1957 and is now in its tenth reprinting. After each new element of grammar the learner is given a set of exercises, and the book also contains useful resources such as a list of hieroglyphic signs and information about the development of the language


About the Author

Sir A.H. Gardiner (18791963) was a distinguished Egyptologist and linguist. He edited the Theban Tomb series for the Egypt Exploration Society. His books include The Royal Canon of Turin and Ramesside Administrative Documents.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE book to have if you want to learn Ancient Egyptian, 10 Mar 2001
By R. Kenyon (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had read about this book and seen it in a few bibliographies and bought a copy just to see what it was like in comparison to Collier and Manley's book. I must say Gardiner suits my personal learning style better - taking it a bit by bit with lots of examples to look at and learn from and in a lot more detail than C & M. It will probably take me years to learn it properly but I am having a great time at the moment with it. I've just spent the day at the British Museum using my lately learnt skills and have thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Here also I can give a promotion for Amazon.co.uk. I could not get this from the British Museum bookshop (they had had it on order for me for a year and a half) but when I lost patience and contacted Amazon I got it within the week delivered directly to my door. Well done and thankyou.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, 5 Jan 2002
By A Customer
There is a great lack in good books where one may study\learn middle egyptian thoroughly. Most books are designed only as an introduction. This book is the real deal and there is probably no better book than this (I would have actually given it 4 1/2 *'s if i could've). Though many of the theories are old and predated, this is definetely the course for someone who wants to take the language seriously, though I do recommend a "basic" introduction before you start this course (eg:- 'A Short Introduction to Middle Egyptian' by Peter Koenig). After you have read this this book, I also suggest that you join an internet forum if you want to start reading more texts and improve your translation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best on the market, 13 April 2009
By Luke Mcgarrity "lucaslavia" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
If you intend to study Middle Egyptian, or any form of Ancient Egyptian properly then this is the sole place to look. Gardiner is old fashioned in a few of his ideas and his explanation of the many odd grammatical features of the language are tricky to understand. However in spite of this, the book is the fundemental resource for all translation needs. Allen's book may be more modern but fails to teach the language with the same detail and range of examples. If you want to learn hieroglyphics to any degree of proficiency, this is the starting block. Once you have completed the exercises, whcih are extremely well laid out, you have all the skills needed to begin tackling old and middle kingdom texts. In order to translate late egyptian to a readable standard then a top up is requried in the form of Friedrich Junge's grammar in late egyptian (there are many new grammatical structures). The general advice is, stick with it, it seems compicated to read and understand at first but once you have adapted to Gardiner's rather unique style of writing and teaching then this is an invaluable resource.
