| Publisher Description: This vintage book contains a simple introduction to the study of Egyptian hieroglyphics by E. A. Wallis Budge. Together with an introduction to the subject, it also includes an account of the decipherment of Egyptian Hieroglyphics, as well as an outline of the system of writing and general principles of the use of pictures to express ideas. Sir Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis Budge (1857 - 1934) was an English Orientalist, Egyptologist, and philologist. He worked for the British Museum and published numerous works on the ancient 'Near East'. This volume will appeal to those with an interest in Egyptian hieroglyphics and the history and development of deciphering them. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork. |
