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. |
|  | 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. |
|  | Amarna Reliefs from Hermopolis in American Collections by John D. Cooney
Generously illustrated, this handy reference tool catalogues the sculptured reliefs of the Amarna period from Hermopolis that are represented in American collections. Each relief is illustrated with an accompanying photograph and is given a physical and artistic description. Numerous subjects are represented in the reliefs: the royal family, the court circle, horses and chariots, flora and fauna, musicians, daily life scenes, architecture, and an offering scene. The material was compiled and described by John Cooney, Curator of Egyptian and Classical Art at the Cleveland Museum of Art. Only 2000 copies of this museum book were ever printed, making it an unexpected find in new condition. |
|  | Thebes [Modern Luxor]: Its Tombs and Their Tenants, Ancient & Present by Alexander Henry Rhind
Rhind's book on Thebes is unique in that unlike many other Egyptologists of his time, he gives a precise and detailed description of how he excavated the sites, in itself an immense value to the history of archaeology. |
|  | Predynastic and Archaic Egypt in the Brooklyn Museum by Winifred Needler
This richly illustrated museum book on the Pre-dynastic and Archaic Egyptian materials in the Brooklyn Museum is very hard to locate. A full-sized exploration of the considerable materials from ancient Egypt owned by the museum, this volume is an indispensable tool for anyone wishing to use the museum’s collection for research. Fully illustrated with black and white photographs of the artifacts in the department, the book begins with a substantial historical introduction, followed by a re-evaluation of Henri de Morgan’s excavations in Upper Egypt. The finds from the principal sites, as well as sites of the Naqada Culture make up the initial presentation. A zoological study of an ivory knife handle also appears. A catalogue raisonné of the Predynastic and Archaic works including tools, household objects, cylinder seals, and figurines fills out the description. Useful appendices include sample pages of de Morgan’s notebooks and related objects in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. |
