Description 1 online resource (xvi, 137 pages, 72 pages of plates) : illustrations (some color) Notes This volume publishes, for the first time, approximately fifty late Egyptian texts from the Suzuki collection held at Tokai University, Japan. The project is a result of a five-year collaboration between Tokai University, Yale University, Johns Hopkins University, The University of Michigan, and the Staatliche Museum zu Berlin. The texts were purchased by Professor Suzuki mainly in the early 1960s from various dealers in Cairo. The bulk of the collection, now housed in the Department of Asian Civilization, School of Letters at Tokai University as part of the Ancient Egyptian and Near Eastern Collection (AENET), consists of early demotic texts. There is also one late hieratic text concerned with temple land, and a few small Greek fragments from the Byzantine period. The texts published here present an interesting range of document types, a range of demotic handwriting, and a few surprises. Among the more interesting are a rare word list and a new mythological narrative Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 131-135) and index Notes English; texts in Egyptian with parallel English translation Print version record Subject Suzuki, Hachishi, 1926- SUBJECT Suzuki, Hachishi, 1926- fast Suzuki Collection gnd Subject Archaeological museums and collections -- Japan Egyptian language -- Papyri.
