The fifth edition of Who Was Who in Egyptology is a key reference for understanding the development of Egyptology. Covering figures from the 16th century to 2019, it provides expanded biographies and updates on key contributors to the field.
The civilisation of ancient Egypt has been a source of fascination for explorers and scholars for centuries and has occupied a special place in the imagination of the public ever since the early travellers’ accounts of this culture of temples, tombs and hieroglyphs began to circulate around the world. Egyptology in the 21st century is a multi-disciplinary science practiced by specialists across the globe. The story of its development from a hobby for the educated and wealthy to a highly formalised academic discipline provides the key to understanding how and why we know what we know about ancient Egypt. Who Was Who in Egyptology remains one of the most important reference works for understanding the characters that contributed to the field of Egyptology and Egyptian archaeology from the 16th century through to the present day. This biographical dictionary tells their story and will be an indispensable reference tool for scholars and enthusiasts alike. The fifth, revised and expanded edition brings entries up to 2019, while further information and images have been added to numerous previous entries.
