Description
Hieratic was the most widely used script in ancient Egypt, but is today relatively unknown outside Egyptology. This Element traces the history of hieratic from its decipherment in the nineteenth century to its origins around 2500 BC, and explores its development, the different factors influencing its appearance, and the way it was taught and used.
