Wisdom of Egypt

Ucko, Peter

Ancient Egypt has always been a pervasive inspiration for other cultures who borrowed, adapted and adopted various aspects for different purposes. These seven essays examine what sources were available to scholars and historians writing about Egypt from the Classical views of Egypt, medieval Arabic writings, the Latin Middle Ages, the Renaissance, 17th and 18th century England and 19th and 20th century archaeology and anthropology. Essentially this is a wide-ranging study of how Egypt has been 'known and vallued by other societies'. 225p (Encounters in Ancient Egypt, UCL Press 2003)
