The Early History of Egypt: From the Old Testament, Herodotus, Manetho, and the Hieroglyphical Inscriptions - Cambridge Library Collection - Egyptology

Samuel Sharpe

Sharpe's objective in this 1836 book is 'to collect out of the writings of the ancients every particular relating to the History of Egypt', marshalling ancient authorities including the Old Testament, Herodotus, and the Ptolemaic priest Manetho. He then uses this evidence to discuss Egyptian life, language, beliefs and customs.

Marc Notes: This 1836 work by Samuel Sharpe (1799-1881) is the first of two volumes on the history of ancient Egypt. From a banking family, Sharpe was fascinated by Thomas Young's and Champollion's work in deciphering the hieroglyphs. He taught himself Coptic, and compiled his own hieroglyphic vocabulary lists. His facility for decipherment was assisted by a natural gift for solving cryptograms, but his inferences sometimes led him into error. His objective in this book is 'to collect out of the writings of the ancients every particular relating to the history of Egypt', marshalling ancient authorities including the Old Testament, Herodotus, Diodorus Siculus and the Ptolemaic priest Manetho, whose division of the rulers into dynasties is still relied on.
