Volker Riepenhausen

Egyptology. Volume I - 328 pp. The first eleven dynasties, 3407-2112 B.C. and volume II - 424 pp.  From the accession of Amenemhet I of the twelfth dynasty to the death of Thutmose III of the eighteenth dynasty, 2111 to 1441 B.C.
Plus illustrations and (fold-out) tables. Different frontispiece in each volume. Hardcovers in the original publisher's full fabric.
Nice, fairly rare, set in fine condition with two ex-libris on the inside of the front cover.

Arthur Weigall (1880 -1934) studied in Germany. He worked at Abydos with Flinders Petrie, but in 1905 he was unexpectedly promoted to Chief inspector of Antiguities for upper Egypt, when Howard Carter was forced to resign. His work in Egypt, especially in the area of Luxor, focussed on the conservation of monuments and the prevention of the shipping of artefacts abroad, until 1911, when he returned to London.
In this work, Weigall likens the writing of a history of Egypt to the piecing together of a jigsaw puzzle consisting of thousands of pieces, however intends to present a chronical narrative at a level to satisfy both the scholar and the interested amateur.

Information: I added a photocopy with Weigall at the Temple of Edfu and a copy with a short biography.
