Cerny, J. (Jaroslav); [Herbert Walter] Fairman, C. (Constant) de Wit.
Notes de grammaire Neo-Egyptienne: Late Egyptian Grammar. Rédigées par J. Cerny, Revues par Fairman, Copiées par C. De Wit (en 1952). [ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT].
Quarto. Unpaginated. Comprising of 3 sections: Paragraphs 1-145; plus ca. 30 leaves with different pagination; plus xxxix leaves of Additional Series of Notes. Typewriter produced manuscript printed on recto only. Hardcover, nicely bound in navy blue full cloth; very few underlines in red pencil. In mint condition. ~ Extremely rare original manuscript by the renowned Egyptologist Jaroslav Cerny (1898-1970). Comprising essentially of 3 parts, the manuscript was edited by Herbert Walter Fairman (1907-1982), and copied in 1952 by Constant de Wit (1907-1989). In her memorial volume to Cerny (Rome, BIP, 1975) Sarah Israelit Groll says that the first section, paragraphs 1-145 (Prepositions, nouns and verbs), was first copied by Caminos in 1950 for Gardiner and is now in the Griffith Institute. As far as we are aware, no comparison has ever been made between the two versions. The present manuscript is a direct carbon copy of the typed manuscript. The hieroglyphic text is handwritten in pencil directly on the paper, apparently by De Wit. The second section which is typed here as integral continuation of the first, has entries on Negation, Prothetic aleph in L. E., Periphrasis with "iri", Relative Clauses, Relatives (Participles), Non-Verbal Sentences, Participles. It is assumed that this section was not included in Caminos' copy of 1950 and appears here for the first time. The last section, titled "Additional Series of Notes", Pp. xxxix, is reproduced on photocopier. [Provenance:] From the library of Egyptologist Prof. Dr. Michel Malaise (1943-2016) with his signature in pencil to title-page.
