The Teachings of Ptahhotep
The Teachings of Ptahhotep: The Oldest Book in the World is an ancient Egyptian text attributed to Ptahhotep, a vizier during the Fifth Dynasty (circa 2400 BCE). This work, preserved on papyrus, is considered one of the earliest examples of wisdom literature and offers timeless advice on ethical conduct, leadership, and personal development. The English translation by Battiscombe George Gunn brings these teachings to a modern audience.
Histories of Egyptology
Histories of Egyptology are increasingly of interest: to Egyptologists, archaeologists, historians, and others. Yet, particularly as Egypt undergoes a contested process of political redefinition, how do we write these histories, and what (or who) are they for? This volume addresses a variety of important themes, the historical involvement of Egyptology with the political sphere, the manner in which the discipline stakes out its professional territory, the ways in which practitioners represent Egyptological knowledge, and the relationship of this knowledge to the public sphere. Histories of Egyptology provides the basis to understand how Egyptologists constructed their discipline. Yet the volume also demonstrates how they construct ancient Egypt, and how that construction interacts with much wider concerns: of society, and of the making of the modern world.
