About this book

The Handbook of Egyptian Hieroglyphs: A Study of the Ancient Language by Mercer, Samuel A. B.. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780781806251.

Hieroglyphs are the picture signs used in the ancient pyramid texts, and the hieratic script derived from them are both covered in this manual, offering a concise introduction to the language of Ancient Egypt. This edition contains a new introduction, bi-directional glossaries and more hieroglyphs. Recognizing the complexity of the Egyptian language, the author devotes a chapter to each grammar point and includes exercises to reinforce the information provided. Extracts from pyramid texts and passages from Ancient Egyptian writing provide reading practice.
