Alan Henderson Gardiner
Sir Alan Henderson Gardiner (1879 - 1963) was, with James Henry Breasted, Adolf Erman, Hermann Grapow, Gustave Lefebvre and Kurt Heinrich Sethe, one of most eminent the Egyptologist S of the 20th century.
Its grammar of the average Egyptian, whom it modestly described as Introduction to the study of the hiéroglyphes, formed a whole generation of students. In 1940, G. Lefebvre paid homage to the author in these terms: It is with the Egyptian Grammar of Gardiner that it will be necessary still a long time to refer, when one wants to realize, in detail, of the origin, the use and the infinite variety of the verbal forms, or to study in their evolution the various values of the hieroglyphic signs. (…) Nothing would know for the moment to replace this true Somme égyptologique.
Though it is disputed today on its verbal part, the Egyptian Grammar , with its list of the hieroglyphic signs most frequent (cf Classification of the hiéroglyphes), remains unquestionably the reference book. Grammar is also a masterpiece of didactic, essential to whoever wants to rub with the traditional Egyptian.
Gardiner was also historian. In 1961, it made appear Egypt off the Pharaohs - Year Introduction , work which covers in fact all the history of the ancient Egypt.
The other publications of this large Egyptologist are addressed rather to the specialist, in particular his Notes one the Story off Sinuhe , its Admonitions off year Egyptian Sage , its Ancient Egyptian Onomastica , its Ramesside Administrative Documents or its study on the Canon Royal of Turin.
