A Manual of the History of the Late Period in Egypt

埃及的晚期（这里包括第21至30王朝）在许多方面与更早的时期不同，也有其他类型的来源。这一时期的历史从来就不是考古学的热门话题，相关文献大多是过时的。计划给出一个全面的晚期历史，不仅基于对历史事件做出明确陈述的少数来源，而且要捕捉和包括文本和考古来源提供的所有可能的信息。在第一（主要）部分，这些文本和考古资料的介绍和详细解释，使他们的广泛调查，（直接和间接）有关事实和事件、结构、人员和机构的信息。第二部分是从统治者与纪年、对外关系、内部政治与社会、文化与宗教等方面提出了这一研究的成果。其结果应该是一种“手册”，不仅描述了后期的历史，但允许用户评估的可能性和限制的历史研究到这一时期。

The Late Period in Egypt (here comprising the 21st to 30th dynasties) differs in many respects from older periods and also has other types of sources. The history of this period has never been a favourite topic in Egyptology and the relevant literature is mainly outdated. It is planned to give a comprehensive history of the late period, based not only on the few sources that make explicit statements of historical events, but to capture and include all possible information provided by textual and archaeological sources.In the first (main) part, these textual and archaeological sources are presented and explained in detail to make an extensive survey of their (direct and indirect) information concerning facts and events, structures, persons and institutions. The second part is to put forward the results of this close study of the sources concerning rulers and chronology, external relations, internal politics and society as well as culture and religion. The result should be a kind of "manual" which not only describes the history of the Late Period but allows the user to assess the possibilities and limits of historical research into this period.
