About Egyptian Grammar: Being an Introduction to the Study of Hieroglyphs

Egyptian Grammar: Being an Introduction to the Study of Hieroglyphs is a 1927 book by English Egyptologist Alan Gardiner. First published in 1927 in London by the Clarendon Press, it has been reprinted several times since. The third edition, published in 1957, is the most widely used version for the subject. Through a series of 33 lessons, the book gives a very thorough overview of the language and writing system of ancient Egypt. The focus of the book is the literary language of the Middle Kingdom. The creation of the book resulted in the development of an accurate and detailed hieroglyphic typeset, Gardiner's Sign List.
