This book presents a new study of the important Middle Kingdom papyri of Heqanakht. Featured scholarship includes microscopic and computer examination data, previously unpublished excavation archives from The Metropolitan Museum of Art, photographs, facsimiles, and hieroglyphic transcriptions of all eight preserved papyri and five inscribed fragments. Also included are never-before-seen photographs of the tomb in which the papyri were found; translations and textual commentary; epigraphic and linguistic analysis; and studies of the people, places, archaeological context and chronology of the papyri. The accompanying CD contains enlargeable full-colour images of all the papyri in Adobe Acrobat format, usable in both PC and Mac format, along with the Acrobat Reader programme needed to view them.
