The first edition. 15 volumes in 18. (plus 4

bindings with gilt titles to spine, 4 volumes in
brown half-leather, one volume in red
half-leather with marbled boards, two volumes
(X,2 and XV) in original printed wrappers. A
monumental work on the temple of Horus at Edfou,
reproducing every wall and hieroglyphic
inscription in full, with literally hundreds of
plates. Published over a period of almost a
Century, complete sets are very rare. Issued in
the series Mémoires publiés par les membres de la
Mission Archéologique Française au Caire, our set
comprises: Volume One; Volume Two, 3rd Fascicule
(Vol Two, 1st & 2nd Fascicule are lacking);
Volume Three, 1st and 2nd Fascicules; Volume
Four, Volume 5, Volume 6, Volume 7, Volume 8,
Volume 9, Volume 10, 1st Fascicule, Volume Ten,
2nd Fasicule, Volume 11 first fascicule, Volume
11 2nd fascicule, , Volume 12, Volume 13, Volume
14, and Volume 15. Vol. 15, issued in 1985 as v.
32 of the series, contains previously unedited
texts, by Sylvie Cauville and Didier Devauchelle.
Vol. 10, pt. 2, issued in 1960 as v. 27 [a] of
the series, contains previously missing plates
which were located in 1949. Included with this
set is the Second edition of Volume One, issued
in 4 fasicules, the revised and corrected edition
edited by Sylvie Cauville and Didier Devauchelle.
The text of Volume One (the 1892 edition) seems
somewhat amiss, with perhaps the fourth fascicule
being not bound in (i.e., lacking), pagination is
to page 440, with then 5 photographic plates
numbered 4-8, and then plates XI-XLVIc, followed
by 593-614 the Index des titres des tableaux and
the Table des Matieres. In any event, this set
is at least 90% complete, the missing text (if
any) in Volume 1 is covered with the inclusion of
the revised editions, there is the possibility of
a few missing plates; all in all, a stupendous
set. Condition: mostly bound with the original
wrappers present, there is the odd damage to a
few leaves, mostly with no loss. These came from
the collection of mystical philosopher Charles
Muses, who sometimes made pencil notes to the
text, but mostly he has marked the title leaves
somewhat. The bindings are all in nice unworn
condition, the wrappered issues are near fine.
Overall, impressive copies of a major work
published over the course of a century. Few
copies exist worldwide in institutional
libraries, fewer still in private hands.
Near-complete sets such as this are, indeed, rare. $3750.00
