This volume brings together fifty-four studies on ancient Egypt and its
interconnections with neighbouring regions to celebrate the career of
Colin Hope. Presented by friends, colleagues and former students,
contributions to the volume offer original research and fieldwork
discoveries informed by new interpretations and insights on contemporary
issues in Egyptology. In recognition of Colin Hope’s extensive research
interests, the subjects of discussion are wide-ranging in their
exploration of the art, archaeology, language and literature of Egypt
from prehistory to the pharaonic period, the Roman period and later.
Also included are studies on the reception of Egyptology and discussions
on museum collections and material conservation. A feature of the volume
is the range of studies that come from contexts within the Nile Valley
proper and the desert regions beyond. Together, the contrasting
perspectives reflect important directions in an ever-expanding
discipline and in the long-standing contributions made to it by Colin
Hope.
