Paleography is the captivating study of ancient scripts and manuscripts, offering a glimpse into the rich history of civilizations like Egypt. In Ancient Thebes, nestled in Luxor, lies the Valley of Queens where one can find the mesmerizing Tomb of Nefertari. Within its sacred walls, intricate frescoes adorn the burial chamber, depicting Queen Nefertari preceded by Isis herself. Delving deeper into this world of written treasures, we encounter various remarkable pages that have survived through time. A color litho reveals a page from the Book of Exodus, transporting us to biblical times. Another litho showcases a page from St Prosper's epigrams, providing insight into early Christian literature. The Kan-Djono manuscript also captivates with its vibrant colors and intricate details on display in yet another litho. It offers an intriguing look at African culture and traditions preserved within its pages. Not limited to religious or historical texts alone, it also encompasses scientific works such as Aristotle's manuscripts found in the British Museum. An engraving presents a facsimile of this recently-discovered treasure that sheds light on ancient knowledge and philosophies. Ms 320 Fol. 197r takes us further back in time as it unveils lunar eclipses and planetary movements meticulously recorded centuries ago. These celestial observations offer glimpses into how our ancestors perceived their place in the universe. Moving away from Thebes but still within Egypt's embrace lies the Valley of Kings with its awe-inspiring murals adorning tombs like that of Horemheb. Here we find an enchanting mural featuring Anubis - guardian deity guiding souls to their eternal resting places. Paleography even extends beyond papyrus scrolls to include engraved artifacts like Mr Shapira's supposed manuscript of Deuteronomy showcased at the British Museum—an artifact shrouded in mystery and controversy throughout history.
