|  | Pagan and Christian Egypt by Anonymous
Comparing the Christian and non-Christian cultures in late antique into early medieval Egypt through surviving art works, this book reflects the materials displayed at a 1941 exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum Department of Ancient Art. The exhibit artifacts are presented in black and white photographs, as well as in a catalogue description. Spanning the first through the tenth centuries of the common era, the contents of the book cut a wide historical swath through the cultures of ancient Egypt. An introduction to the items in the display and the volume itself was provided by John Cooney, sometime Curator of Egyptology at the Brooklyn Museum. This handsome volume contains a variety of significant pieces that provide a view into a lost world. |
|  | 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. |

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.
