Descripción

Two volumes. Folio. Pp. xvi, 181; 185-190. Plus 60 plates, some in colour, mostly with multiple images to each. Includes frontispiece, loosely inserted as issued. With over 50 text figures. Original thin wrappers (first volume erratically stating "1932"), frayed, chipped, partly detached. Crisp interiors in fine condition and as such an excellent set, preserved entirely in the original state. ~ FIRST EDITION. Mémoires de l'Institut Francais d'Archéologie Orientale du Caire, 54. Jean Gaston Maspero (1885-1915). Published posthumously, it was, and in essence still considered as a memorial of one of the most brilliant and most promising of the younger Egyptologists of the time, who fell in action in 1915. It embodies the publication of the results of Maspero's last season of excavation, in Bawit. "This book is an eloquent tribute to the beautifully-kept and detailed note books of Maspero as well as to the skill and patience of Drioton." (H. W. Fairman, Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, 1934). Étienne Marie-Félix Drioton (1889-1961). Curiously, not in Beinlich-Seeber. 007-8. N° de ref. del artículo 8978
