Gustav Seyffarth

    Gustav Seyffarth was a German-American Egyptologist whose research primarily focused on a phonetic interpretation of hieroglyphs, diverging from other scholars of his era. His method emphasized the phonographic nature of symbols, a distinct approach compared to prevailing theories. Seyffarth's work offers an intriguing perspective on early attempts to decipher ancient Egyptian writing.

      "Die Literatur der alten Ägypter ist die älteste der Welt; sie geht geschichtlich bis zum Jahre 666 nach der Sündlut, 2781 vor Chr., 1800 vor Homer zurück. Ihrem Umfange nach steht sie der griechischen und römischen nicht nach; schon Abulfeda versichert, sie werden 10,000 Bände füllen. Tatsächlich haben sich wenigstens 2000, zum Teil 60 Fuss lange Papyrusrollen, unzählige Inschriften auf Tempelwänden, Obelisken, Pyramiden, Monolithen, Altären, Sarkophagen, Mumienkästen, Utensilien, Stelen, Statuen, in Katakomben, Felsentempeln und Grotten erhalten. Die uralten heiligen Schriften der Ägypter, ihre Geschichtswerke, Tempelannalen sind grossenteils noch vorhanden." [...] Der Ägyptologe Gustav Seyffarth gibt mit dem vorliegenden Werk eine erste Anleitung zur Übersetzung altägyptischer Literatur. Ausführlich erläutert er die Schriftzeichen und die Grammatik. Ergänzt wird dieser Band durch ein umfangreiches Hieroglyphenalphabet. Dieses Buch ist ein unveränderter Nachdruck der längst vergriffenen Originalausgabe von 1855.
