About This Item
Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 2004. Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good. 18mo. Loeb Classical Library No. 350. Greek, Latin and English. Green cloth boards with gilt lettering to spine and LCL monogram to front board. xxxii, 256 p.p. White scuff to tail edge of front board, else fine. Dust jacket sunned at spine, a few spots of chafing to edges and joints, else fine. Manetho was an Egyptian of the third century B.C. Born probably at Sebennytus in the Delta, he became a priest at Heliopolis. Apparently he and a Greek Timotheus did much to establish the cult of Serapis in Egypt. Eight works or parts of works were ascribed to him, all on history and religion and all apparently in Greek: Aegyptiaca, on the history of Egypt; The Sacred Book, on Egyptian religion; An Epitome of Physical Doctrines; On Festivals; On Ancient Ritual and Religion; On the Making of Kyphi (an incense); The Criticisms of Herodotus; and the spurious Book of Sothis. This volume also contains the doubtful Kings of Thebes (in Egypt) and the Old Chronicle.
