Acts of the Tenth International Congress of Demotic Studies: Leuven, 26-30 August 2008 [Hardcover]

The Acts of the Tenth International Congress of Demotic Studies held in Leuven illustrate the disciplinary diversity of the field. Apart from new editions of documents (receipts, contracts, letters, oracle questions,...) and presentations of new literary texts (including even those referring to raining frogs), this volume also contains contributions such as a new proposal to standardize transliterations, a discussion of the classification of magical texts, or a survey of the history of Demotic in Leuven. The volume will be of interest to egyptologists, papyrologists, and ancient historians.
