Hardcover, uniformly bound in the original publisher's light-blue full cloth, overall faded, shelf number in pencil at corner of each cover. In a very good condition, excellent interiors. ~ First edition. Extremely rare complete set of the "deluxe" edition which comes with the original 13 collotypes in the Plate Volume. It has been noted that practically the entire first edition of this work had the Plate Volume bound with only the autographic plates of transcription, made by Fairman, without the photographic plates of the papyrus itself. Although Gardiner mentions that at the eve of going to the printer "the collotype plates have been ready for more than twenty years" there seem to be the issue of Gardiner's impatience and matters of speed of process and expense: "The thought of the expense of such a publication, alike to author and purchaser, has been the source of much vacillation." (Preface). It is therefoe that finally the option of only autographic reproduction was chosen for the main edition and a "deluxe" edition, one described as "With Extra Plates" was printed in an exceptionally small run. (For that matter see also Annual Egyptological Bibliography 107 which specifies the publication of two versions of this work with different prices). While Fairman's transcriptions are reproduced here lithographically, the original 13 collotypes provide a rare, unparalleled exquisite view of the papyrus. [Provenance:] From the library of renowned Egyptologist Prof. Dr. Joris Frans Borghouts (1939-2018) with some annotations in his neat hand. With a card "With the Author's compliments" loosely inserted.
Quarto. Pp. (v), 104. Text figures. Lithographed entirely from the manuscript. Original publisher's stiff wrappers, trifle frayed at head of spine. In a very good condition, fine interior. ~ First edition. Extremely rare original copy of De Buck's doctoral thesis, presented to Leiden University on July 6, 1922. Published privately by the now long defunct Leiden printers firm of IJdo, De Buck's historical manuscript is lithographed in its entirety. Includes the now practically extinct original 8-point Thesis Statement, a 4-page sheet with title-page. Adriaan de Buck (1892-1959) studied Egyptology under Sethe, Erman and Möller to become later one of the foremost Egyptologists of his time. In 1922 he gained a theological doctorate at the University of Leiden, for which he wrote a thesis on the Primeval Hill as a concept in Egyptian religion, "a work which has exercised a profound influence on all later studies on the Heliopolitan theology". (Dawson & Uphill). In 1925 he was asked by Gardiner and Breasted to edit an extensive and fully comprehensive edition of the Coffin Texts to be published by the Oriental Institute of Chicago. At the time of his death seven great volumes of texts had appeared, and part of his other great work of translating and commenting on them had also been completed, "an achievement rarely equalled by one individual in the field of Egyptology". A classic book of utmost rarity, a landmark in the history of Egyptology. [Provenance:] From the library of renowned Egyptologist Prof. Dr. Joris Frans Borghouts (1939-2018) who had acquired at the time several of De Buck's books.

In 1962 appeared by Augustin Volume V, Spruch 507-582, to be followed the same year by Volume VI, Index. Also these two volumes are presented here in the first edition, to be distinguished from the second edition of the entire work which also appeared that year.

Quarto. Unpaginated. Comprising of 3 sections: Paragraphs 1-145; plus ca. 30 leaves with different pagination; plus xxxix leaves of Additional Series of Notes. Typewriter produced manuscript printed on recto only. Hardcover, nicely bound in navy blue full cloth; very few underlines in red pencil. In mint condition. ~ Extremely rare original manuscript by the renowned Egyptologist Jaroslav Cerny (1898-1970). Comprising essentially of 3 parts, the manuscript was edited by Herbert Walter Fairman (1907-1982), and copied in 1952 by Constant de Wit (1907-1989). In her memorial volume to Cerny (Rome, BIP, 1975) Sarah Israelit Groll says that the first section, paragraphs 1-145 (Prepositions, nouns and verbs), was first copied by Caminos in 1950 for Gardiner and is now in the Griffith Institute. As far as we are aware, no comparison has ever been made between the two versions. The present manuscript is a direct carbon copy of the typed manuscript. The hieroglyphic text is handwritten in pencil directly on the paper, apparently by De Wit. The second section which is typed here as integral continuation of the first, has entries on Negation, Prothetic aleph in L. E., Periphrasis with "iri", Relative Clauses, Relatives (Participles), Non-Verbal Sentences, Participles. It is assumed that this section was not included in Caminos' copy of 1950 and appears here for the first time. The last section, titled "Additional Series of Notes", Pp. xxxix, is reproduced on photocopier.
