This manual presents a pedagogical approach to the grammar of Middle Egyptian, the classical language of pharaonic Egypt. // The first part of this grammar book is dedicated to hieroglyphs. It provides an explanation of this writing system, presenting a selection of the 200 most important signs to memorise, as well as a basic vocabulary list that is easy to learn. // The grammatical commentary begins with an overview of the main types of clauses attested. It goes on with a systematic study of nouns and associated elements (adjectives, determiners, genitive constructions, prepositions, pronouns), the examination of non-verbal clauses, for which a verb “to be” will be introduced in the English translation, and the description of suffix and non-suffix verbal forms (morphology and syntax). It closes with a summary of the uses of auxiliaries and particles. // In addition to the grammatical explanations, the work presents a series of common phrases and expressions: names of kings and individuals, a selection of anthroponyms and titles, and expressions used in traditional funerary inscriptions. // The work continues with a list of more than 800 signs, a vocabulary list of more than 2,300 words, the references to the examples quoted, and a chronological table. // The third part concludes with a series of exercises and their correct version. // The authors: Claude OBSOMER, Professor of Egyptology, Université catholique de Louvain (Belgium) & Sylvie FAVRE-BRIANT, Associate professor of English (France), member of the Académie Belge pour l'Étude des Langues Anciennes et Orientales (Belgium) // Target audience: This manual, intended for university teachers and students, will also appeal to amateurs who would like to learn, on their own or with a group, the Egyptian writing and language in order to read ancient texts.
