Description: This is the first of three volumes of a Corpus of Ptolemaic Inscriptions from Egypt.
Review Quotes: "There is no doubt that the Corpus of Ptolemaic Inscriptions will become the standard reference work for Ptolemaic inscriptions from Egypt, provided editors carry through with the remaining two volumes." -- RODNEY AST, Universität Heidelberg, THE CLASSICAL REVIEW
"For most scholars interested in Ptolemaic Egypt, however, the CPI will provide "one-stop shopping" for access to the richness of the epigraphic legacy of one of the most important successor kingdoms-and a clear sense of the complex interplay of indigenous Egyptian cultural and political conventions expressed in hieroglyphic and Demotic practices with the Greek epigraphic tradition the Ptolemies and their people brought with them." -- Gary Reger, Bryn Mawr Classical Review"The volume includes some of the most important inscriptions of Hellenistic history, and in particular the famous Rosetta stone that made possible the decipherment of Hieroglyphic." -- Kostas Vlassopoulos, Greece & Rome Vol. 70.2
