Egyptian hieroglyphs de W. V. Davies
Beknopte maar degelijk introductie in taal en schriftsysteem van het oude Egypte. Onvoldoende om hiërogliefen echt te kunnen lezen, maar wel voldoende om inzicht te krijgen in het complexe systeem. Met goed gekozen en heldere voorbeelden.
A scholarly, but accessible introduction to what hieroglyphics are, their history, and how they work as a writing system.
