Concise Dictionary of Middle Egyptian

by R.O. Faulkner

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.

Reviews

[Michael Murphy · Rating 2 out of 5]

Pages are scans of hand written pages. Makes actual use more difficult than it should be. Should have been print type

I haven't really read it from cover to cover, since it's a dictionary--even if it's a concise one.
