Overview

This series presents English translations of the hieroglyphic texts of the Ramesside Age of Ancient Egypt (c. 1300-1100 BC), including the vast majority of historical sources for this important epoch of Egyptian history. This volume contains all the historically significant inscriptions from the reigns of the successor of Ramesses II to the end of his line, ranging from texts from the wars of Merenptah against the Libyans and the 'Sea Peoples', to addresses to Merenptah from the god Thoth and the goddess Neith. Most of these texts are translated into English for the first time.
