Hardcover. Condición: Good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. 2013 OUP hardcover edition. Light reading wear, wear and small tear to edge of dustjacket else good condition. From the cover: For generations of historians, 1789 was a defining moment in world history and it has been said to mark, amongst other things, the triumph of the bourgeoisie, the birth of modernity, the rise of nationalism or even the invention of ideology. To explain an event of such magnitude it was understandable that historians should seek no less portentous explanations of its origins and that factors such as the rise of capitalism, class struggle or the impact of the Enlightenment were cited as the long-term causes of Revolution. In recent years, however, there has been a preoccupation with the actual course of the Revolution. The prevailing concern with political culture and gender as analytical tools has illuminated developments in Paris and in the French provinces, and has brought to prominence many themes inadequately explored during earlier scholarly generations. Rather less attention is given currently to how France was plunged into revolutionary turmoil, which is now taken largely as a 'given'. The present collection, by contrast, focuses once again upon the origins of the dramatic events within and beyond France which transformed later eighteenth-century Europe so comprehensively and established the terms of political and social struggle for the next two centuries. It presents a series of up-to-date essays which, collectively, provide a new interpretation of the origins of the Revolution. Uniquely among recent contributions to the field, this volume transcends national historiographical traditions and includes contributions by leading experts from France, Britain and the United States, giving it a breadth of approach which previous scholarship has lacked.

Paperback. Condición: New. This volume presents the pottery from the tomb of Maya and Meryt (located in the New Kingdom necropolis at Saqqara) in its archaeological context. Volume I was devoted to the reliefs, and volume II to the objects and skeletal remains from the tomb.

The wealth of blue-painted pottery (amounting to 187 vessels) is carefully described, the motifs represented in the designs are discussed, and aspects of the chronological development of blue-painted pottery are illustrated. 96 colour photographs are included showing many of these beautiful blue-painted vessels. Numerous inscriptions on the pottery provide interesting information on the actual contents of the vessels provided for Maya's burial.…

Couverture souple. Condición: Comme neuf. Edition originale. Le Caire 2024. -- As New-- Hardback - 28 x 21,5 cm . -------- XXX-681 pages. ************** "".John H. Taylor combines a great breadth of Egyptological knowledge and experience (shared by few museum curators) with a modest and unassuming personality. For three and a half decades his scholarship has provided an unsung underpinning to the British Museum's Department of Egyptian Antiquities (now the Department of Egypt and Sudan). During this time he has maintained a determined continuity with the best traditions and aspirations of the past through his high academic standards. The title of this book borrows unashamedly from a workshop held in John's honour at the Museum in November 2022. Its theme, From Objects to Histories, encapsulates this curator's combined talentsin the physical evaluation of an Egyptian artefact, and in the teasing out of its past history and modern relevance from archives and the records of early travellers and collectors. John's area of special interest is the study of funerary practices and funerary goods of Egypt's New Kingdom and Third Intermediate Period, above all the coffins in which he is today pre-eminent. He has published extensively and lectured widely on a range of fundamental topics. During the 1990s, he supervised the reinstallation of the 'Mummy Galleries' (among the most popular rooms in the British Museum), and since then has presented on aspects of ancient Egyptian funerary customs in a whole range of temporary exhibitions. Particularly celebrated is John's pioneering work in the use of modern, non-destructive technologies for the investigation of mummified remains. His exhibitions on this theme, beginning with 'Mummy: the Inside Story', and offshoots of it, have travelled the world, further enhancing his reputation for successful research and intellectual rigour. This volume contains the contributions of over sixty of his colleagues and friends who wanted to honour John's achievements, and this reflects both the esteem in which he is held within Egyptology and the breadth of his interests.

Orientalia Lovaniensia Analecta 265. Peeters, Leuven, 2017. First edition. In-4, xvi & 503 pages. Original cloth with dust-jacket, new, still under shrink wrap. From the library of Egyptologist Charles Cornell Van Siclen III (VSX). Summary: This book comprises twenty-two articles devoted to First Millennium Egypt, all intended to honour Antony Leahy, whose interest in this period is well known to scholars of this period. Both archaeology and philology are represented in this volume as well as studies on history and material culture. The interlocking interpretation of texts and objects is also noteworthy. The paper by Karl Jansen-Winkeln re-examines the question of the Libyan or Egyptian nature/origin/ethnic identity of the Third Intermediate Period, whilst others are more specific in their scope. Chronological discussions concerning the order of the kings of the 25th Dynasty in Egypt and Nubia are presented by Gerard Broekman and Roberto Gozzoli. Several objects belonging to a king Djehutyemhat are described by Troy Sagrillo. Statues belonging to the Memphite governor, chancellor and scribe to the king Horsematuyemhat; the Theban governor Nesptah A; the admiral Hor, who presumably lived in Tell el Yahudiya; and the royal tutor Ankhefensenmut from Permanu are discussed by Mélanie Cressent, Frédéric Payraudeau, Campbell Price and Oliver Perdu respectively, with the latter arguing for an identification of Permanu with Kom Firin. The Theban choachytes of the Third Intermediate Period are studied by Cynthia Sheikoleslami, whilst Maria Cannata reports on the remains of an embalmer's cache from the Saite Period. The minor arts of the First Millenium BC are addressed by Claus Jurman, who writes on a number of seals, Julia Budka, who deals with Twenty-fifth Dynasty votive pottery from Abydos, Benjamin Hinson, who reports on the presence of bells in First Millennium private tombs, and John Taylor, who discusses two lost Twenty-second Dynasty Theban cartonnages. Other studies examine the possibility of a third large Twenty-first dynasty cache at Thebes (David Aston); the possible location of the tomb of Osorkon III at Thebes (Michinori Ohshiro); the use of Pyramid texts in Twenty-fifth and Twenty-sixth Dynasty tombs (Antonio Morales); Saite warfare (Alan Lloyd) and Thirtieth Dynasty Apis burials (Didier Devauchelle). The volume also comprises philologically orientated contributions on Glorification Texts (Martin Bommas) and the Horus Throne in djet and neheh (Stephen Gregory). The collection of articles is rounded off by Günter Vittmann's account of a previously unpublished letter written in abnormal hieratic from Amheida in the Dakhleh Oasis. Language: English. This book ships from the USA, shipping costs will be updated accordingly (TXR). Relevant subjects: Egypt: Festschriften and Proceedings.…
