The Forgotten Scholar: Georg Zoëga (1755-1809)
At the Dawn of Egyptology and Coptic Studies
ä¸ç¼ï¼- Culture and History of the Ancient Near East, å·ï¼ 74
Renowned for his work within the fields of Numismatics, Archaeology, Egyptology and Coptic studies, Georg Zoëga was a figure of outstanding importance both in Rome and in Europe, at the end of the eighteenth century. Although highly valued by his contemporaries, Zoëgaâs scientific legacy fell almost entirely into oblivion with the end of the Enlightenment. The Forgotten Scholar: Georg Zoëga (1755-1819): At the Dawn of Egyptology and Coptic Studies represents an exceptional occasion to rediscover the largely unknown scientific legacy of this Danish scholar consisting of hundreds of letters, drawings, sketches, notes, and other documents, mainly preserved in the Royal Library and in the Thorvaldsen Museum of Copenhagen.
Karen Ascani, M.A. (1969) University of Copenhagen. She has published articles on Georg Zoëga and his time and is the editor (together with Ã. Andreasen (â )) of his Briefe und Dokumente II-V including an index which also covers volume I (1967) (University Press of Southern Denmark 2013).
Paola Buzi, Ph.D (2002), is Assistant Professor of Egyptology and Coptic Culture at the Sapienza University of Rome. She combines the study of Coptic literature and codicology with the field work in the Fayyum and Asyut.

Daniela Picchi, board-member of CIPEG - ICOM (2013), is Head of the Egyptian Collection at the Archaeological Museum of Bologna (2006). She combines the museological activities with the study of the history of collecting as well as field work at Saqqara.
