ROYAL CANON OF TURIN

A.H. Gardiner

Sir Alan Gardiner's edition of the papyrus with the Royal Canon of
Turin, which has been out of print for some years, is now once more
available. The reprint presents this indispensable tool for every
student of Egyptian chronology and historian of ancient Egypt in a
more compact and handy size, but maintains the clarity and the
two-colour printing of the original edition. The volume, originally
published by the Griffith Institute in commemoration of Sir Alan's
80th birthday, contains a complete hieroglyphic transcription of the
now sadly fragmentary document, the verso of which is of inestimable
value for the reconstruction of the relative and absolute chronology
of the first seventeen Egyptian royal dynasties. The volume also
contains the transcription of the Ramesside tax-lists on the recto of
the papyrus. In addition to notes on palaeography and unplaced
fragments there is a concordance of all 164 fragments.

Sir A.H. Gardiner (18791963) was a distinguished Egyptologist and
linguist. He edited the Theban Tomb series for the E.E.S. His books
include Egyptian Grammar and Ramesside Administrative Documents.
