Book Description
Egyptologists will welcome the publication of this catalog (it's oversize, at 9.25x12") of the scarabs and related objects excavated at Medinet Habu by the U. of Chicago's Oriental Institute from 1926-1931. Based on the notes of the excavation's field director and his assistant, the volume presents a catalog of 349 scarabs, scaraboids, seals, and seal impressions. The entry for each piece includes its registration and field number, date, description, provenience if known, decoration, brief commentary, and drawings and b&w plate of the obverse, reverse, and profile views. Teeter, a curator at the Institute, has written an introduction that describes the excavation and its documentation. A chapter on stamp seals and seal impressions from the post-Pharaonic period is included by T.G. Wilfong (Egyptology, U. of Michigan). Distributed in the US by the David Brown Book Company.

Book Description
Facsimile edition of the 1974 reissue of Flinders Petrie’s 1917 pioneering typological catalog of Egyptian name-scarabs and cylinders, one of a number of such catalogs to be reissued in this new series. The beetle form of amulets are common finds on Egyptian sites but examples with engraved names represent a small proportion of the total. Over 240 different royal persons are named among the various major museum collections. Petrie here illustrates and discusses over 1600 examples in his own collection together with a selection of inscribed steatite cylinders. He discusses the religious aspects of scarabs and their magical use, their varieties, materials and manufacture, and presents a chronological discussion with fully illustrated catalog of both line drawings and photographs.

Book Description
Percy E. Newberry's 'Scarabs: An Introduction to the Study of Egyptian Seals and Signet Rings' is a comprehensive and scholarly exploration of the significance of scarabs in ancient Egyptian culture. Newberry delves into the history, symbolism, and craftsmanship of these artifacts, shedding light on their roles as protective amulets, personal ornaments, and administrative tools. Written in a clear and engaging style, the book provides a detailed analysis of different types of scarabs, their inscriptions, and their use in various aspects of Egyptian society, making it an essential resource for anyone interested in Egyptology. Newberry's meticulous research and passion for the subject shines through in this well-organized and informative work. Known for his expertise in Egyptian archaeology, Newberry's fascination with scarabs led him to produce this seminal work, drawing on his extensive knowledge and experience in the field. I highly recommend 'Scarabs' to scholars, students, and enthusiasts of ancient Egyptian history, offering valuable insights into the art and culture of one of the world's most fascinating civilizations.
