The Topographical Bibliography of Ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphic Texts,
Statues, Reliefs and Paintings now has eight published volumes (volumes i
and iii in two parts, while volume viii will eventually consist of
at least six parts).
These list ancient Egyptian monuments still in situ, those found in
controlled excavations or those for which the original location can be
established with certainty, and now also monuments the provenance of which is
not known.
The first seven volumes cover the whole of Egypt and areas outside Egypt; the eighth includes monuments of provenance not known. The first three volumes have been revised and issued in a second edition.
The first two parts of the eighth volume were published in the Spring of 2000. The text of the third part, Stelae of Provenance Not Known: Down to the end of Dynasty XVII, has just appeared. The fourth part, Stelae: From the beginning of Dynasty XVIII to the Roman Period, is well advanced and will be ready in 2008, and Part 5, Reliefs and Paintings of Provenance Not Known, shortly after that. Part 6 will include other monuments of unknown provenance such as coffins, offering-tables, canopic jars, etc.
All volumes can be ordered from the Griffith Institute.
