Description

Altersgem�sehr guter Zustand / very good condition for age - Beilage / supplement: Karte von �ypten / map of Egypt - Preface to the third Edition - In this edition are given a number of important facts concerning the modern history of the Egyptian Sudan, together with many details concerning the peoples and towns of this vast country; many of these are based upon information obtained from Count Gleichen�s �The Anglo-Egyptian Sudan,� 2nd edition, London, 1905. I have also derived many facts from Naum Shoucair Bey�s � History of the Sudan � (in Arabic), and have drawn others from my work, � The Egyptian Sfldan,� 2 vols., London, 1907. During recent years the development of Egypt and the Egyptian Sudan has progressed with such great rapidity, and the exertions of archaeologists have produced such remarkable additions to our knowledge of the past history of the countries, that merely to describe them briefly has made it necessary to add largely to this the Third Edition of Messrs. I'hos.Cook & Son�s Handbook for Egypt and the Egyptian Sudan. -- The plans and illustrations given throughout this Handbook are derived from authoritative sources, among which may be mentioned the works of Coste, Prisse d�Avennes, -Lepsius, Howard Vyse, Mariette, J. de Morgan, the Memoirs published by the French Archaeological Mission in Cairo, the Description de VEgypte, the Survey, published by the Palestine Exploration Fund, etc.
