TIE PUBLICATION of the fourteen documents discovered at Thebes by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the late Eleventh Dynasty tombs of Emsah, Harhotep and Meketre has been eagerly awaited by Egyptologists since they were found in the 1921-22 season. The tantalizing preliminary report2 hinted at their importance for the study of the social and economic life of a period for which virtually nothing had been available previously, but utilization of the disjointed extracts in the report had to await publication of the full text. After years of delay, the publication was entrusted to James. The resulting volume fully answers one's expectations. The typography, plates and manufacture are of the quality to which the Oxford University Press has long since accustomed us; the text itself offers more than one had hoped for. In addition to translations, accompanied by full introductions and philological commentaries, of the fourteen texts excavated in 192122, six others of the same period are included in an attempt to make all the documentary material of the early Middle Kingdom accessible.
