Kamal describes how he questioned the Sheikhs of El Azhar regarding
the authenticity of footprints attributed to Muhammed in the mosque at

a brief sketch of its history from the prehistoric period to the Boman age,
Einfuhhmg in die Geschichte dcr Aegyptischen Kunst, with 32 photographic
plates.
The same author's Dcnkmdlcr Acgyptischer Skulptur, of which ten
livraisons (out of the promised twelve) have already appeared, will be

M. jSTaville has printed a lecture on Egyptian art, L'Art Egyptien, in
the Bibliotheque de vulgarisation of the Musee Guimet (reviewed by
Axdeesson, Sphinx, xii. 265). Another volume is on Les Origines du
Mastaba, by M. Benedite.
Spiegelbeeg edits a series of photographs of fine examples of Egyptian
art in the Strassburg collection, which under his care has grown into one
