This concise dictionary of "Middle Egyptian" - that phase of the language which has the widest general application - contains 5400 carefully selected words most likely to be encountered by both students and more advanced scholars in the course of their regular work. Each entry consists of the most common hieroglyphic form of the word, accompanied by its transliteration, translation, references to texts where it occurs, its less usual hieroglyphic variants, and phrases in which it is used. The book was autographed by Dr. Faulkner himself in his clear and elegant hieroglyphic hand. First published in 1962, it has since been revised and reprinted several times.
