"This enterprise represents an unrivalled and indispensable source of knowledge for the study and understanding of Ancient Egypt. The project consists of two linked series, each of seven volumes. The first series presents full translations in appropriate format with the minimum of distracting apparatus. The second and parallel series, initiated by Kenneth A. Kitchen and now taken up by Benedict G. Davies, systematically presents essential bibliographical references, introductions and background to every item translated in the first series. It also provides specialist notes and commentaries on finer points of detail where appropriate"--Series title page.
