The Early History of Egypt : From the Old Testament, Herodotus, Manetho, and the Hieroglyphical Inscriptions

Omtale

Sharpe's objective in this 1836 book is 'to collect out of the writings of the ancients every particular relating to the History of Egypt', marshalling ancient authorities including the Old Testament, Herodotus, and the Ptolemaic priest Manetho. He then uses this evidence to discuss Egyptian life, language, beliefs and customs.
