The late Dr. R.O. Faulkner, for many years the assistant of the great Egyptologist, Sir Alan Gardiner, was an expert in ancient Egyptian military and nautical matters, and was responsible for the publication of the British Museum's Catalogue of Wooden Model Boats. In the 1960s he taught Egyptian language at University College London, and after his retirement he produced standard translations of the three principal collections of ancient Egyptian funerary compositions, the Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts, and the Book of the Dead. His Concise Dictionary of Middle Egyptian is an essential tool for all who are interested in the Egyptian language. He died in 1982. |
