Translation of Georg Möller's works on Hieratic hosted by the EEF.

[First posted in AWOL 19 November 2015, updated 28 April 2018]

Translation of Georg Möller's works on Hieratic
Tom Stableford is in the process of translating from German the three (relevant) parts of Georg Möller’s Hieratische Paläographie into English and transcribing and transliterating all three volumes of his Hieratische Lesestücke für den akademischen Gebrauch. Below you may find the installments that have appeared thus far (2015-2018).

English translation of: Georg Möller, Hieratische Paläographie. Die aegyptische Buchschrift in ihrer Entwicklung von der fünften Dynastie bis zur römischen Kaiserzeit. 3 Bände. Hinrichs, Leipzig 1909.

English translation of: Georg Möller, Hieratische Lesestücke für den akademischen Gebrauch. 3 Bände. Hinrichs, Leipzig 1910–1927
N.B.: Möller only provides the bare hieratic text with very brief introduction and some notes. In the following files, you may find below that text a commentary/analyis (i.e., hieratic, Möller's sign codes, hieroglyphic equivalence, Gardiner's sign codes, transcription) by Tom Stableford.

Of additional use (text in Dutch): F. Vervloesem, Index bij Möller, Hieratische Paläographie (2006) [PDF]

The Writing of a Skillful Scribe: An Introduction to Hieratic Middle Egyptian Through the Text of the Shipwrecked Sailor

The Writing of a Skillful Scribe: An Introduction to Hieratic Middle Egyptian Through the Text of the Shipwrecked Sailor
Poe, William Clay
URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10211.3/144864
Date: 2008

Abstract:

This book is an introduction to the principal form of the literary language of ancient Egypt. It is assumed that most people who use this text will be interested primarily in the Egyptian language as a component of the study of the culture of ancient Egypt and so will not be focused primarily upon the structure of Egyptian grammar. A major rationale for the organization of the book has thus been to introduce the student as quickly as possible to the reading of a connected narrative. In order to do this, the book has been narrowly focused; it uses a single rather simple, but nevertheless elegant, piece of literature to present examples of the principal structures of Middle Egyptian. The Story of the Shipwrecked Sailor has been selected as the single source for all of the examples in the text.

      K. Donker van Heel, A Very Easy Crash Course in Abnormal Hieratic

      K. Donker van Heel, A Very Easy Crash Course in Abnormal Hieratic. Being a Step by Step Introduction to the Least Accessible of All Ancient Egyptian Scripts (Leiden 2013)
      This syllabus is part of a three-day crash course in abnormal hieratic that was designed to prepare students for the effective use of: 

      Koenraad Donker van Heel & Joost Golverdingen, An Abnormal Hieratic Reading Book Containing Texts from the British Museum (London), the Brooklyn Museum (New York), the Egyptian Museum (Cairo), the Louvre (Paris), the Museo Egizio (Turin), the Nationalbibliothek (Vienna), Queen’s College (Oxford) and the Rijksmuseum van Oudheden (Leiden), with a Palaeography of Abnormal Hieratic Signs and Sign Groups (2013).

      Or, to phrase it more precisely, this very easy crash course aims to take away people’s fear of abnormal hieratic and to stimulate colleagues and students to open their hearts and minds to this wonderful discipline that has so much to offer. And, most important, to enjoy doing it.

      It was felt that to achieve this we would need a really low-threshold syllabus for use in class, that will allow students to go through the material on their own without losing their way at any moment. This explains why so much attention has been paid to clarify details time and again, requiring constant references, sometimes ad nauseam.
