Very Good. Size: 8.9 x 0.5 x 11.4 Inches; Very nice and clean. Text free of highlighting and writing. Tightly bound. This fully-illustrated catalogue offers highlights of the Egyptian collection at the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago. A brief history of the collection is followed by a catalogue of seventy-seven objects, which date from the early third millennium BC to the eighth century AD. Many of these objects have not been previously published. The artefacts include statues, stelae, tools, games, clothing, coffins, figured ostraca, and papyri; each item is described, and its function and symbolism are discussed. Brief texts are translated. Appendices give museum registration numbers, provenance, and bibliographies. This handsomely produced volume makes a welcome addition to the publication of objects in smaller museum collections of Egyptian antiquities. '-KMT: A Modern Journal of Egyptology Built largely through the work of pioneering Egyptologist James Henry Breasted during the late nineteenth century, the Oriental Institutes Egyption collection is among the countrys most important, with more than 25, 000 objects. Yet it has not been adequately published and is less well known than it should be. Aiming to remedy the problem, this beautifully illustrated catalogue provides informative and scholarly discussions of sixty-two of its most important pieces. -Religious Studies Review, Vol. 30, Issue 2, 3, April, July 2004-Denise M. Doxey This genre of books is a delight to the enthusiast for they are all produced to the highest quality and with text by well known Egyptologists. This Chicago volume is no exception...You will find information and detail in this and other such Museum books, which simply is not available elsewhere. The illustrations are superb and the text well written and understandable. Expert or beginner will learn much from the contents of this volume. -June/July 2004 Ancient Egypt Magazine 160 pages.
