ABSTRACT

First published in 2005. This book was written by the great Egyptologist and scholar, Sir E.A. Wallis Budge, with the aim to help the beginner to take his first steps in Egyptian. The book includes sections on writing and grammar, a vocabulary of the most common few hundred words, and a selection of practice tests covering the period from B.C. 4200 to B.C. 200. A very practical book for beginning students.
