Customers who bought this book also bought: | Coptic Textiles in the Brooklyn Museum by Deborah Thompson
An under-studied aspect of Coptic culture is the remains of beautiful Coptic textiles. In this amply illustrated museum art book, black and white and color photographs of these rare artifacts appear. The Brooklyn Museum possesses one of the major collections of Coptic art in the Western world. Fabrics seldom survive from the ancient world due to the ravages of time and climate. In this unique presentation of Coptic antiquities, the material culture of the Nile Valley is wonderfully displayed. Textiles dating from the Late Roman period up into Islamic times, from the context of native Egyptian Christians, are ably described and generously illustrated in this rare edition. With a text written by a recognized expert in both textiles and ancient Egypt, this book is full of information as well as nearly lost artifacts. 38 pieces are presented in the collection, along with a chronology, glossary, and bibliography for those who wish to learn more about this intriguing aspect of material culture. |
|  | Greek and Latin Inscriptions in the Brooklyn Museum by Kevin Herbert
Forty-three Greek and Latin inscriptions found among the collection of artifacts in the Brooklyn Museum are the object of this study. Presented in transcription and translation, each inscription is also represented with a photographic record. The classical inscriptions and the artifacts upon which they occur make up the main body of the book, but a introduction and divine name, royal name, personal and place name indices provide further useful tools. Most of the inscriptions included in the collection come from Egypt between the 6th century B.C. and the 6th century A.D. Included are public inscriptions concerning the Ptolemaic monarchs, information about religious cults and military matters. Sepulchral monuments are also included, providing information on the outlook of various segments of society toward death in the days before Christianity reached Egypt. Mummy labels and magical amulets are also represented. This volume also serves as an art book with its museum-quality photographs of the objects upon which the inscriptions appear. |
|  | A Monumental Gateway of Sety I by Alexander Badawy
This brief exploration of the Brooklyn Museum’s monumental gateway model from the time of Sety I is abundantly illustrated and handsomely presented. This unique piece from ancient Egypt demonstrates in scale model form what the gateway would have been like in the period of Sety (1303-1290 BC), just prior to the period of the biblical Exodus. Several clear photographs of each segment of the model are presented along with comparative material from other sites in Egypt. Images of Sety himself are included, along with transcriptions and translations of the hieroglyphic inscriptions on the model. The reconstruction shows the grandeur of the original, but on a smaller scale. Also included is the concise study of Elizabeth Riefstahl entitled “The Recent History of King Sety’s Model with Bibliography.” These two pieces together offer a rare glimpse into the realm of ancient Egyptian monumental architecture. |

The companion volume to Jean-Claude Goyon’s Confirmation du Pouvior Royal au Nouvel An, this rare work contains the photographs of Brooklyn Museum Papyrus 47.218.50. The papyrus, one of a collection of previously unknown documents, was unrolled for the first time in the modern period in the late 1960s. This remarkable document deals with royal ceremonies of ancient Egypt that were performed during the transition period between years. Written in hieratic, the papyrus was published by Goyon in Cairo in 1972, a publication which included the text. What the original publication lacked was a photographic record of the document. This 12-by-16 volume contains the 15 full-sized photographs of the papyrus in black and white, on facing pages with the text written out in hieroglyphic script. Supplies of this uncommon find are limited.
