Mansfield Centre, CT: Martino Publishing, 2008. cloth. Egypt. 8vo. cloth. vii pages, 1010 columns. Facsimile reprint of the original first edition of 1928 published in Cairo by l'Institut Francais d'Archeologie Orientale (Besterman 1918). The significance of this uncommon bibliography is that not only does it include all the major works by Egyptologists past and still living up to 1928, but it also includes all the periodical articles written by them. Some of these appear in scholarly journals not devoted to Egyptian subjects alone. All items are recorded in the original language in which they were written. Munier served as Librarian at the Egyptian Museum in Cairo from 1908 to 1925. A most useful reference book. Cites 14,000 books and articles, making this one of the most comprehensive bibliographies on the subject. (Inventory #: 102008)
