Introduction to: Miriam Lichtheim, Ancient Egyptian Literature, vol. III: The Late Period, Berkeley / Los Angeles / London, 2006

"It is now twenty-five years since the publication of volume three of _Ancient Egyptian Literature. A book of readings (AEL)_. That the volume remains a major source for Egyptian literature and history in the first millennium BC is a fine testament to the scholar who produced it. Each of the three volumes of _AEL_ is a remarkable achievement in its own right; as a whole they are among the most famous volumes in English-speaking Egyptology, and are still in regular use in courses on Egyptian history and civilization."
