Description: The Oriental Institute Hawara Papyri by George R. Hughes, Richard Jasnow Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description The papyri published here form part of a large family archive in the Egyptian Fayum. Written in Demotic and Greek, they are an excellent source of information about the Egypt of the fourth to third century b.c. Of interest to Egyptologists, Hellenists, and all those interested in the economic and social history of the Late period in Egypt. Publisher Description The papyri published here, chiefly in the collection of the Oriental Institute Museum, comprise part of a large family archive from the town of Hawara in the Egyptian Fayum. Written in Demotic and Greek, the documents (annuity contracts, donations, sales, mortgage agreements, loan repayments) are an excellent source of information about the Egypt of the fourth to third century b.c. Professor George R. Hughes had worked on the ten Oriental Institute Hawara papyri for a number of years, but sadly, it was not possible for him to finish the manuscript before his death in December 1992; he did, however, prepare preliminary transliterations and translations of the papyri, including the Rendell Papyrus published in the Appendix. Discussions, commentaries, and glossaries are included. Richard Jasnow completed the manuscript with the assistance of James Keenan, who prepared the Greek texts. The book is of interest to Egyptologists, Hellenists, and all of those concerned with the economic and social history of the Late period in Egypt.
