Antique Prints of Egypt Beautiful Aquatints of Egypt Luigi Mayer, an Italian painter, created, among other travel descriptions, a wonderful series of drawings of pre-Napoleonic Egypt, commissioned by the British Ambassador to Constantinople (Istanbul), Robert Ainslie, at the turn to the 19th century. Mayer's drawings were supremely implemented as aquatint engravings by Thomas Milton and very handsomely hand colored. The various plates were dated between 1801 and 1803. Our series of aquatints are in very nice collectable conditon in superb hand coloring.

David Rumsey Historical Map Collection | The Collection 1996 Les langues en Égypte Sous la direction de Madiha Doss et Catherine Miller Il nous a paru utile de présenter un panorama des langues en Égypte, dans une perspective à la fois historique et contemporaine mettant en valeur la diversité et la pluralité des pratiques linguistiques à travers les époques. Notre démarche faisait donc appel tant à des compétences d’historiens qu’à celles de linguistes, et c’est ce regard croisé qui nous intéressait. Nous avons réuni principalement des contributeurs résidant en Égypte pour favoriser de réels échanges entre les participants, la proximité géographique rendant possibles plusieurs séances préliminaires de réflexion commune et des apports mutuels.

The Bibliography of Ancient Egypt Global Egyptian Museum Louvre Création du département d'Antiquités égyptiennes La création d'un département d'antiquités égyptiennes au Louvre n'est pas la conséquence directe de l'expédition de Bonaparte en Égypte entre 1798 et 1801. Les antiquités recueillies alors par les savants furent saisies par les Anglais comme butin de guerre ; parmi elles, la célèbre Pierre de Rosette aujourd'hui à Londres. Un petit nombre d'œuvres rapportées à titre privé entrèrent au Louvre bien plus tard. En revanche, la publication du livre de souvenirs de Vivant Denon en 1802, Voyage dans la Haute et la Basse Égypte, et des volumes de la Description de l'Égypte, par les membres scientifiques de l'expédition, entre 1810 et 1830, réactive l'intérêt pour l'Égypte ancienne au cours du premier quart du 19e siècle, plus profondément que le goût superficiel qui s'était manifesté dans le mobilier à partir de la fin du règne de Louis XVI.

Digital Book Index Why not just do a Google search instead of looking here? This is more direct, indexes collections specifically, and won't throw out red herrings. Memphis Univ School Library "...an astonishing number of electronic books...from an equally astonishing number of sources ... impressive. Very impressive..." Lindsay Periera, REDIFF.COM (INDIA) Pick of the Weekend "One major area of difficulty in the electronic book area of publishing has been bibliographic control. This is a big improvement over the sites I've been recommending to students.
