A supplement to the Topographical catalogue of the private tombs of Thebes (Nos 253 to 334). Avec quelques notes sur la nécropole de 1913 à 1924. Par Reginald Engelbach. Le Caire 1924. Edition originale. Supplément de : A topographical catalogue of the private tombs of Thebes. By Alan H. Gardiner and Arthur E. P. Weigall, 1913. Reginald - Rex - Engelbrecht (1888-1946) était un égyptologue et un ingénieur britannique. Il a fait ses études à l'école de Tonbridge et a ensuite suivi une formation d'ingénieur à l'Institut City and Guilds, 1905-8, mais ses études ont été interrompues par une longue maladie, et une visite en Égypte pendant sa convalescence en 1909-10 l'a amené à s'intéresser à l'égyptologie. Il étudie l'égyptien, le copte et l'arabe à l'University College de Londres et, en 1911, il devient l'assistant de Petrie, effectuant des fouilles à Héliopolis, Shurafa, Kafr Ammar, Riqqa et Haraga. En 1914, il rejoint les Artists Rifles et sert en France et à Gallipoli. Il est ensuite envoyé par Allenby pour faire un rapport sur les sites antiques de Syrie et de Palestine. Après la guerre, il retourne aider Petrie à Lahun et Gurob, en 1919-1920, et est nommé inspecteur en chef en Haute-Égypte pour le service des antiquités. Engelbach a mené une carrière active sur le terrain et dans le domaine de l'organisation et de la gestion de musées, sa plus grande réalisation étant sans aucun doute son grand Registre des musées du Caire.
