'With the death of Selim Hassan in September 1961 Egypt lost one of its most gifted and devoted Egyptologists. <p>Selim Hassan published more than 50 books and articles as well as he carried out extensive excavations at Giza and Saqqara . He died however before he could revise the proofs of his publication "Excavations at Saqqara" in three volumes. I was privileged by being asked by the Egyptian Antiquities Organization to revise these proofs and complete the parts which had not been prepared during his life. <p>The unprepared pages were in most cases those dealing with the description of the tombs he had discovered. In order to write these pages I had to visit the site of his excavations at Saqqara to obtain and record the needed data. In writing the missing descriptions I followed the same system adopted by the author in parallel cases in the same publication so that the whole text might appear as one uniform unit as if these pages were written by the late author himself' from the Editor's Note by Dr Iskander. 3 items.
