[Courtesy Wikipedia.] Publisher: Published for the Brooklyn Museum by the Yale University Press City: Brooklyn Year: 1953 Binding Style: Hardcover Pagination: 319 pages plus plates Width: 9 Height: 11.25 Book Details: From the Historical Introduction In 1947 the Egyptian Department of the Brooklyn Museum, which owes its existence to the heirs of the American Egyptologist Charles Edwin Wilbour, received from the estate of his daughter, Miss Theodora Wilbour, the important collection of Aramaic papyri from Elephantine in Upper Egypt, which are the subject of this publication. These papyri, the largest single collection in the Western world, are significant not only because they add considerably to our store of Egyptian Aramaic documents but because they contribute to our knowledge of Jewish men and women who lived in a remote Aramaic-speaking colony at the southernmost frontier of Egypt in the days of Nehemiah (the second half of the 5th century B.C).
