In 2014, the Egyptological Archives of the Università degli Studi di Milano acquired an amazing and previously unknown album on the Serapeum, by Auguste Mariette. It contains photographs of the site and of monuments he discovered over the years, plans, notes, copies of hieroglyphic inscriptions, autographed drawings that the archaeologist made on the area mostly between December 1850 and March 1851, together with later additions. It is probably the “maquette” of the last volume that Mariette had planned to publish on his discovery, but that was never published because of his death. This album will be presented for the first time, together with some letters on the subject written by Mariette to Heinrich Brugsch, kept in the Milanese Archives as well.

Abstract
In 2014, the Egyptological Archives of the Università degli Studi di Milano acquired an amazing and previously unknown album on the Serapeum, by Auguste Mariette. It contains photographs of the site and of monuments he discovered over the years, plans, notes, copies of hieroglyphic inscriptions, autographed drawings that the archaeologist made on the area mostly between December 1850 and March 1851, together with later additions. It is probably the “maquette” of the last volume that Mariette had planned to publish on his discovery, but that was never published because of his death. This album will be presented for the first time, together with some letters on the subject written by Mariette to Heinrich Brugsch, kept in the Milanese Archives as well.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
