The Catalogue of the Demotic Papyri in the John Rylands Library at
Manchester, which has long occupied the present writer, has at length
appeared in three volumes of (1) photograpliic facsimiles, (2) supplementary
band copies of the earlier and more obscure texts, and (3) translations and
commentaries with indices. The collection is especially rich in early
documents, and contains also good examples of Ptolemaic texts from
Thebes and Gebelen and of Eoman bilingual papyri from the Fayum.
The early documents comprise papyri of the age of Psammetichus I.,
Amasis I. and Darius. To the last reign belongs a very interesting
petition of a priest at El Hibeh, 25 pages long and practically perfect. In
the third volume are printed an analysis of all the available early
material in demotic and in the " abnormal hieratic " which preceded demotic
at Thebes and in the Ethiopian period, and various pbilological and other
dissertations. The indices comprise not only proper names, etc., but also
the demotic words and groups occurring in the Bydands papyri.
The edition of the great demotic magical papyrus by Griffith and
Thompson has been completed by the publication of the glossary,
containing over 1,100 words and numerous special indices. The demotic
magical papyrus of London and Leiden, vol. III. Lndices.

concerning early Christianity, in reality warnings to persons who neglected
