Description

The Scepter of Egypt. Before 1600 B.C. (Part I) and 1675 to 1080 B.C. (Part II)

By William C. Hayes.

Two volume set
Greenwich, Connecticut: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1968. Third Printing

Dimensions: 10 1/4 inches x 7 3/4 inches

Volume 1: 399pp, plus fold-out map

Volume 2: 496pp, plus fold-out map

Both dust jackets lightly edgeworn and price-clipped with several light creases. Blue cloth boards with gilt lettering and designs to cover and spine. Light pencil notations to endpapers. Overall a clean, tight set.

Description: Hayes' The Scepter of Egypt is still considered by many Egyptologists to be one of the standard texts of the field. A pupil of Sir Alan Gardiner, Hayes attended the Princeton University where he graduated in 1935 with a dissertation on the royal sarcophagi of the 18th Dynasty. For most of his life he was involved with the Metropolitan Museum of Art: first as a member of the museum's Egyptian Expedition (since 1926), then as an assistant curator (1936) and later as curator of the museum's Egyptian Department, from 1952 until his death.
