Kurt Heinrich Sethe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kurt Heinrich Sethe(June 30, 1869–July 6, 1934) was a noted German Egyptologist and philologist. He was a student of Adolf Erman. Sethe collected numerous texts from Egypt during his visits there and edited the Urkunden des Ægyptischen Altertums which is a standard catalogue of Ancient Egyptian literature and text. Among Sethe's many contributions to Egyptology, two are singled out by Gardiner(p.433): "...the pronunciation of Middle Egyptian...The chief authorities to be consulted are Sethe's great work on the Egyptian verb, and a much later brilliant article entitled Die Vokalisation des Ägyptischen in Zeitschrift der deutschen morgenländischen Gesellschaft""(1923)
