Books in the Wilbour Studies in Egyptology and Assyriology series

Reflects the work of the joint expedition of Cairo University and Brown University to record and publish the tombs uncovered on behalf of Cairo University by Prof. Abdel-Moneim Abu Bakr from 1949 through 1953, but never published.

The papers presented at Brown University's Workshop on Earlier Egyptian Grammar in 2013 discussed the grammatical value of written evidence preserved in texts of the Old and Middle Kingdoms (ca. 2350-1650 BC). They present orthographic, lexical, morphological and syntactic approaches, and are a new step in understanding Earlier Egyptian grammar.

The studies collected here examine Egyptian (auto-)biographies from a variety of complementary perspectives: anthropological and contrastive perspectives; original Old Kingdom settings; text format and language; social dimensions; religious experience. Belonging to the nonroyal elites, these texts present aspects of individual lives and experience.
