École de Berlin und "Goldenes Zeitalter" (1882-1914) der Ägyptologie als Wissenschaft : Das Lehrer-Schüler-Verhältnis von Ebers, Erman und Sethe (2013. VII, 446 S. 6 b/w ill. 230 mm)

Though in-depth studies into the history of Egyptology have existed for the past 200 years, they continue to remain popular today. By assessing extensive materials from German and European archives, Thomas Gertzen sheds light on the significance of the Berlin School of Egyptology and its founder, Adolf Erman (1854-1937). He also examines its importance for later generations inside and outside Germany, providing an important historical study of a discipline and its institutions.
