'With the death of Selim Hassan in September 1961, Egypt lost one of its most gifted and devoted Egyptologists. Selim Hassan published more than 50 books and articles, as well as he carried out extensive excavations at Giza and Saqqara . He died, however, before he could revise the proofs of his publication "Excavations at Saqqara" in three volumes. I was privileged by being asked by the Egyptian Antiquities Organization to revise these proofs and complete the parts which had not been prepared during his life. The unprepared pages were in most cases those dealing with the description of the tombs he had discovered. In order to write these pages, I had to visit the site of his excavations at Saqqara to obtain and record the needed data. In writing the missing descriptions, I followed the same system adopted by the author in parallel cases in the same publication, so that the whole text might appear as one uniform unit, as if these pages were written by the late author himself' (from the Editor's Note by Dr Iskander).

Original printed wrappers. Splendidly illustrated throughout with 127 in-text figs, and 195 b/w photographic plates, this work is a limited re-edition of Professor Selim Hassan's 3-vol. monograph on the mastabas of Ancient Egypt. "A mastaba (meaning "house for eternity" or "eternal house" in Ancient Egyptian) is a type of ancient Egyptian tomb in the form of a flat-roofed, rectangular structure with inward sloping sides, constructed out of mud-bricks (from the Nile River). These edifices marked the burial sites of many eminent Egyptians during Egypt's Early Dynastic Period and Old Kingdom. In the Old Kingdom epoch, local kings began to be buried in pyramids instead of in mastabas, although non-royal use of mastabas continued for over a thousand years. Egyptologists call these tombs mastaba, which is the Arabic word for "stone bench." (From Wikipedia). Each of the three volumes has been printed in a limited edition of 800 unnumbered copies. Moderate shelf-wear and soiling to wrappers. Previous owner's Ex-libris on inside of front cover (J. Bisno). Wrappers in overall good- to good, interior in very good condition. About the author: Selim Hassan (1867-1961) was an Egyptian Egyptologist. He wrote the 16-volume Encyclopedia of Ancient Egypt in Arabic and supervised the excavation of many ancient Egyptian tombs under the auspices of Cairo University.…
