Ancient Egyptian Administration
Series:
Editor:
Ancient Egyptian Administration provides the first comprehensive overview of the structure, organization and evolution of the pharaonic administration from its origins to the end of the Late Period. The book not only focuses on bureaucracy, departments, and official practices but also on more informal issues like patronage, the limits in the actual exercise of authority, and the competing interests between institutions and factions within the ruling elite. Furthermore, general chapters devoted to the best-documented periods in Egyptian history are supplemented by more detailed ones dealing with specific archives, regions, and administrative problems. The volume thus produced by an international team of leading scholars will be an indispensable, up-to-date, tool of research covering a much-neglected aspect of pharaonic civilization.
Juan Carlos Moreno García, PhD (1995) École Pratique des Hautes-Études de Paris, is a CNRS researcher at the University Paris IV-Sorbonne. He has published extensively on pharaonic administration and socio-economic history and has organized several conferences on these topics.
‘’The Companion is a very welcome and valuable contribution to scholarship in this field. It opens up new avenues of research and suggests new possibilities for future exploration.’’
