The volumes of this bibliography show the Egyptologist where to find
published and unpublished records of ancient Egyptian monuments which
remain in situ, those which have been removed but can be traced
to a definite site, as well as those in museums and private collections
where the provenance has been lost. Monuments are arranged
geographically and there are indices, including kings, deities and
private individuals, for each volume. The first two volumes contain the
account of the temples and tombs at Thebes. The third volume deals with
the monuments of Memphis, with its vast necropolis of pyramids and
tombs; the fourth with Lower and Middle Egypt. The fifth and sixth
volumes cover the sites and temples of Upper Egypt, and the seventh
Nubia, the deserts and finds of Egyptian objects outside Egypt.
Monuments of provenance not known are being presented systematically in
the eighth volume, parts 1 and 2 of which list statues, and parts 3 and
4 stelae.
This second part of Volume III (Memphis: Saqqâra to
Dahshûr) covers the southern section of the Memphite necropolis and the
temple and town site of Mît Rahîna. It lists published as well as
important unpublished sources, such as manuscripts, drawings and
photographs. Thirty-six pages of maps and plans accompany the text, and
the volume is fully indexed. This is an unchanged reprint of the second
edition, originally published in 1981.
