This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Easy Lessons in Egyptian Hieroglyphics With Sign List This little book is intended to form an easy intro duction to the study of the Egyptian hieroglyphic in scriptions, and has been prepared In answer to many requests made both in Egypt and m England. It con tains a short account of the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics, and a sketch of the hieroglyphic system 'of writing and of the general principles which underlie the use of picture signs to express thought. The main facts of Egyptian grammar are given in a series of short chapters, and these are illustrated by numerous brief extracts from hieroglyphic texts each extract is printed in hieroglyphic type and is accompanied by a transliteration and translation. Following the exam ple of the early Egyptologists it has been thought better to multiply extracts from texts rather than to heap up a large number of grammatical details Without supplying the beginner with the means of examining their application. In the limits of the following pages it would be impossible to treat Egyptian grammar at any length, while the discussion of details would be quite out of place. The chief object has been to make the beginner familiar with' the most common signs and words, so that he may, whilst puzzling out the ex tracts from texts quoted in illustration of grammatical facts, be able to attack the longer connected texts given in my First Steps in Egyptian and in my Egyptian Reading Book.

Book Synopsis American Hieroglyphics by : John T. Irwin
Download or read book American Hieroglyphics written by John T. Irwin and published by Johns Hopkins University Press+ORM. This book was released on 2016-10-02 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How the discovery of the Rosetta Stone led to new ways of thinking about language: “A brilliant new interpretation of major 19th-century American writers.” —J. Hillis Miller The discovery of the Rosetta Stone and the subsequent decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphics captured the imaginations of nineteenth-century American writers and provided a focal point for their speculations on the relationships between sign, symbol, language, and meaning. Through fresh readings of classic works by Emerson, Thoreau, Whitman, Poe, Hawthorne, and Melville, John T. Irwin’s American Hieroglyphics examines the symbolic mode associated with the pictographs. Irwin demonstrates how American Symbolist literature of the period was motivated by what he calls “hieroglyphic doubling,” the use of pictographic expression as a medium of both expression and interpretation. Along the way, he touches upon a wide range of topics that fascinated people of the day, including the journey to the source of the Nile and ideas about the origin of language.

Book Synopsis Cracking the Egyptian Code by : Andrew Robinson
Download or read book Cracking the Egyptian Code written by Andrew Robinson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1799 Napoleon's army uncovered an ancient stele in the Nile delta. Its inscription, recorded in three distinct scripts--ancient Greek, Coptic, and hieroglyphic--would provide scholars with the first clues to unlocking the secrets of Egyptian hieroglyphs, a language lost for nearly two millennia. More than twenty years later a remarkably gifted Frenchman named Jean-Francois Champollion successfully deciphered the hieroglyphs on the stele, now commonly known as the Rosetta Stone, sparking a revolution in our knowledge of ancient Egypt. Cracking the Egyptian Code is the first biography in English of Champollion, widely regarded as the founder of Egyptology. Andrew Robinson meticulously reconstructs how Champollion cracked the code of the hieroglyphic script, describing how Champollion started with Egyptian obelisks in Rome and papyri in European collections, sailed the Nile for a year, studied the tombs in the Valley of the Kings (a name he first coined), and carefully compared the three scripts on the Rosetta Stone to penetrate the mystery of the hieroglyphic text. Robinson also brings to life the rivalry between Champollion and the English scientist Thomas Young, who claimed credit for launching the decipherment, which Champollion hotly denied. There is much more to Champollion's life than the Rosetta Stone and Robinson gives equal weight to the many roles he played in his tragically brief life, from a teenage professor in Revolutionary France to a supporter of Napoleon (whom he met), an exile, and a curator at the Louvre. Extensively illustrated in color and black-and-white pictures, Cracking the Egyptian Code will appeal to a wide readership interested in Egypt, decipherment and code-breaking, and Napoleon and the French Revolution.
