William Kelly Simpson is professor of Egyptology and Near Eastern Languages, Civilizations, and Literatures at Yale University.
"A reliable rendering of the Egyptian text that can be useful to
students of Egyptology and provide the layman with delightful
reading material."—Mordechai Gilula, Cultura
"One may rarely recommend a volume which gives both an enlightening
and a reliable insight into an ancient civilization. In this volume
of translations, however, the reader can understand and empathize
with much of the vitality of ancient Egypt, in mental and social
life rather than the familiar icons of monumental
architecture."—South African Archaeological Bulletin
"The scope of the material presented is varied and representative,
and the names of the triad of translators constitute a warrant of
quality."—J. Gwyn Griffiths, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology
Selected as an "Outstanding" title in the 2003 Association of
American University Presses (AAUP) University Press Books for
Public and Secondary School Libraries
