| Comments on Handwriting | 35.1447a: Five separate lots of hieratic fragments. Lot 1: 20 or so fragments from a Late Period hieratic text; the hand is large and neat, and there are some rubrics. The content is still to be determined. Lot 2: 30+ fragments in poor condition; many are uninscribed; a few bear traces of signs from a hieratic Book of the Dead of the Late or Ptolemaic Period; fragments of a painted vignette belonging to this papyrus. Lot 3: 20+ fragments from a hieroglyphic Book of the Dead; some may belong to one of the hieroglyphic Book of the Dead fragment groups of 35.1449, for which see below. Lot 4: 20+ small fragments in very poor condition; some have writing that is barely legible. Lot 5: 20+ fragments, some of which belong to a hieroglyphic Book of the Dead, others of which belong to a Late Period hieratic Book of the Dead. Several of the fragments of the hieroglyphic text show traces of BD 6 and BD 7. 35.1447b: 50+ small fragments with Greek or demotic writing. Too fragmentary to establish anything else for certain. | |
