HÆGK00018U Demotic
Master’s Programmes in Ancient and Medieval Near Eastern Studies, 2008
The course is structured as follows: firstly there is a short introduction to the main elements of Demotic grammar. Then we read the story of Khaemwase and Naneferkaptah. This is read in so-called Normalschrift from W. Erichsen, Demotische Lesestücke. Band I. Heft 1, Leipzig, 1937, pp. 1-40. The text is published by F. Ll. Griffith, Stories of the High Priests of Memphis, Oxford, 1900, and a translation can be found in M. Lichtheim, Ancient Egyptian Literature. Volume III: The Late Period, Berkeley, 1980, 125-138. Later texts to be read include extracts of other literary texts, didactic compositions and magical texts.
