Documentation for Ancient Arabia
This new volume provides an indispensable guide to the proliferating bibliography (often hard of access) of several thousand Ancient Arabian inscriptions through one-and-a-half millennia (c. 1000 BC to c. 570 AD), mainly in South Arabia, but including also some monumental texts from NW Arabia and others from E Arabia. The Bibliography offers important information on each principal text (all sigla by which each is named, with ample cross-references; location, date, nature, besides the vital list of publications in which each appears). A comprehensive but compact set of charts provides a basic palaeography, to help in the dating of texts that lack a royal name. Updates are given for the chronology, king-lists, and lists of sources in Volume 1, and (to complement the minimal dates in that work) fresh maximal dates for those wishing to base their dates on the supposed Assyrian synchronism with Karibil Watar I of Saba in 685 BC.
Pharaoh Triumphant
A thorough and detailed account of one of the best known pharaohs of Egypt, written by the leading expert on the subject. Kitchen discusses the early life and childhood of the young king, his reign, politics, wars and policies, and his death and the after-life. This book is to be read rather than studied and is more than a simple biography, giving the wider context of Ramesses' life; daily life in the towns and cities, temples and the gods, political advisers and the royal family.
On the Reliability of the Old Testament
By reliable, of course, Kitchen (emeritus, Egyptology, U. of Liverpool) means the extent to which the Hebrew scripture can be made to correspond to received notions about the past from the disciplines of history and archaeology. He explores such topics as the Hebrew kingdoms, exile and return, Canaa
Ramesside Inscriptions: Addenda
"This enterprise represents an unrivalled and indispensable source of knowledge for the study and understanding of Ancient Egypt. The project consists of two linked series, each of seven volumes. The first series presents full translations in appropriate format with the minimum of distracting apparatus. The second and parallel series, initiated by Kenneth A. Kitchen and now taken up by Benedict G. Davies, systematically presents essential bibliographical references, introductions and background to every item translated in the first series. It also provides specialist notes and commentaries on finer points of detail where appropriate"--Series title page.

RAMESSIDE INSCRIPTIONS
The aim of Professor Kenneth Kitchen?s magisterial Ramesside Inscriptions is simple?to make available the principal historical and biographical texts of the Ramesside age (c.1300?1070 bc) in a comprehensive, compact and accurate edition that should be comprehensive but handy to use. It does not, however, include purely literary, ritual and funerary texts.0This book covers the whole of the texts of the Later Nineteenth Dynasty, namely all that was subsequent to the reign of Ramesses II, i.e. for the reigns of Merenptah through to Tewosret (c.1213?1186 bc, or only to 1189 bc, depending on whether Amenmesses was full ruler or merely a Theban contemporary of Sethos II). They include the ?officia...
