This was most likely an introduction to the series of stories that constitute the papyrus. There were apparently eleven lines lost from from the first page of the first story and probably one page before that containing some 50 “verses” as Parkinson call them. Parkinson in his book The Tale of Sinuhe and Other Ancient Egyptian Poems, 1940-1640 BC (Oxford University Press, 1997) gives numerous details on the physical remains of this papyrus as well as the text. The Wikipedia entry for the Westcar Papyrus gives an excellent overview of the manuscript, condition, influence, and provides a description of the stories. Of the original five stories, three remain complete. The papyrus, written in hieratic script and middle Egyptian, shown above, is in poor condition and the text has been reconstructed by various scholars from 1890 to 1988. Modern schoarship has determined that these stories were most likely written in the 18th dynasty or later. The Westcar Papyrus, housed in the Ägyptisches Museum, Berlin, and designated Berlin Papyrus 3033 contains five stories told by the sons of the 4th dynasty Pharaoh Khufu, also known as Cheops. In the Egyptian Museum, Cairo, JE 36143Īll links and site navigation appear in green. Some Egyptologists think it may be from a later date.

These codes correspond to the codes tksesh gave to new signs. Note that for compatibility with tksesh, we also support arbitrary “user glyph codes”.

This way, you will be sure to keep it even it a sign with this Gardiner code is later added to the software. We suggest that, if you create a sign with an “normal” gardiner code, you also give it an user sign code. In our example, your duck would replace the normal one, so it would have code “G39”. You will find more information on signs drawing in the next section. So, have to come with you own versions of the signs, either from actual sources or by re-creating them. Please, note that using the codes is one thing, but that the actual signs drawing in the fonts of other softwares are legally protected.

A number of lists are also available on the web. You will find these codes in Hannig's WB, for instance. So I gave it the code US1E162VARA, because E162 is a griffin sign. On the other hand, the Israel Stela contains a sign which is most probably a griffin, but does not correspond to any registered griffin sign in the manuel. I can create this sign, and give it, for instance, the code US1Aa1000XT. 66-67), and in its text appears the unknown sign. “Ff” is reserved for signs used specifically when transcribing hieratic.Įxample : the Harp Louvre E 116 A has recently been published by C. The Category should be correct, and if you really don't have a clue, you should use the Aa category. Note also that the number should not contain leading zeros. It would also be better if this number does not correspond to a “standard” sign (to avoid confusing innocent users of other softwares), So you can for instance start your numbering at 1000.

You are free to choose the number you like, but I would suggest you try to find a logical layout. When the sign you create corresponds to a completely new sign, give it a code of the form: USuid+Gardiner Category + NUMBER +“XT”+OPTIONAL VARIANT CODE.
