The tale, which is by turns lurid, tragic and ultimately comic, deals with Setne's theft of a magic book written by the god Thoth himself, and subsequently Setne's punishment through a hallucinatory encounter with the ghostly femme fatale Tabubue. Vinson provides a new textual edition and commentary, and explores the tale's cultural background, its modern reception, and approaches to its interpretation as a work of literature.Harvard Egyptological Studies3.Egyptian languageDemotic, ca. 650 B.C.-450 A.DTextsHistory and criticismEgyptian literatureHistory and criticismEgyptian literatureTranslations into EnglishEgyptian languageEgyptian literatureHistory and criticism.Egyptian literatureTranslations into English.893.1Vinson Steve1667324NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910816808003321The craft of a good scribe.
