A Manual of the History of the Late Period in Egypt

埃及晚期（这里包括第21至第30王朝）在许多方面与较早时期不同，也有其他类型的来源。这一时期的历史从来都不是埃及学的热门话题，相关文献主要是过时的。它计划提供一个全面的晚期历史，不仅基于少数对历史事件作出明确陈述的来源，而且要捕捉和包括所有可能的文本和考古来源提供的信息。在第一部分（主要部分）中，对这些文本和考古来源进行了详细的介绍和解释，以对其有关事实和事件、结构、人物和机构的（直接和间接）信息进行广泛的调查。第二部分是对统治者和年代学、对外关系、内部政治和社会以及文化和宗教的来源进行细致研究的结果。结果应该是一种“手册”，它不仅描述了晚期的历史，而且允许用户评估这一时期历史研究的可能性和局限性。

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 The history of this period has never been a favourite topic in Egyptology and the relevant literature is mainly outdated.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.
