SOME COMMENTS BY REVIEWERS
"...this and its companion volumes will prove to be a useful and convenient translation of part of the corpus of Egyptian historical texts. The author (B. Cumming) is to be commended for the diligent effort which has gone into the work and the promising results so far accomplished." The Journal of Egyptian Archaeology
"The author (B. Cumming) must be congratulated for her translations, which provide a good English representation of the original texts while preserving the flavor of the ancient language." JNES
"Davies has done a nice job of adapting Helck's German text into English and most of what readers will need to revise or explain the contents can be found in his notes." JNES
"The small and relatively low-priced book certainly accomplishes what it sets out to do, namely to provide the English-speaking world with competent and fresh renderings of many texts previously unavailable in English." Archív Orientální
