Description

The Book of Kemyt is an ancient Egyptian school text preserved on pottery sherds, papyri, writing tablets, walls, and hundreds of ostraca, over six centuries. The handwriting displays a special style between the usual scripts, hieratic and cursive hieroglyphs. This volume is the first to present the complete inventory of signs from more than 200 sources, compiled primarily using digital methods. This paleography of the Book of Kemyt provides a synchronic and diachronic perspective, as well as cross-regional comparisons. The PDF version is linked to "AKU-PAL", the online database of hieratic and cursive hieroglyphs.
