About the author: François Joseph Chabas 1817-1882 was a French Egyptologist who came from a modest background studied at Chalon and became a wine merchant. Self-taught Chabas learned Latin Greek and other languages. Interested in anthropology he turned to study Old Egyptian languages. Chabas was a member of several learned societies and later president of the Conseil departemental of Saône-et-Loire. Between 1876 and 1880 he edited the journal "L'Égyptologie." His works have contributed much to elucidate the history of the invasion and repulsion of the Hyksos in Egypt. Chabas was elected a foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1865. From Wikipedia. J. Dejussieu; Maisonneuve et Cie hardcover books
