Studien zur agyptischen Verwaltungsgeschichte in ptolemaisch-romischer Zeit
Year: 1915
Type: book-review
Abstract: documents, on accounts of voyages and travels, on fairy-tales, on hymns to the gods, on moral and philosophical treatises, and on poetical compositions, with a final chapter on "Miscellaneous Literature."The works passed in review are partly translated, partly described in outline.Little is omitted, but it is strange that among the omissions should be so interesting and well-known a work as "The Adventures of the Mohar" in Palestine.There is nothing which gives us a better insight than this remarkable production into the geographical conditions of Palestine in the age of the Exodus, or the hardships which a tourist was likely to experience.Among the Miscellaneous Literature are included the medical and mathematical papyri, one of which was written in the Hyksos period.Both volumes are provided with very complete indices.
