The small lexicon of Egyptology offers a compressed and comprehensible overview of all areas of Ancient Egypt: history, cultural history, religion, literature, economy, archaeology, and topography. In addition to relevant and specialized terms, fundamental keywords such as taxes and levies, ownership and property, jurisdiction, state administration, and social stratification provide insights into the state and society of this early high culture. Following a historical overview, all terms are listed in alphabetical order for quick reference. Cross-references enhance the understanding of content connections. The small lexicon is intended for both academically trained individuals and those generally interested in Ancient Egypt. Additionally, this handy reference work is particularly recommended as a companion book for trips to Egypt, as well as for their preparation and follow-up.
