Based on the hieroglyphic texts of the Ramesside Age of Ancient Egypt (c.1300-1100 BC), the books in this series present a modern English translation of the vast majority of historical sources for this important epoch of Egyptian history.

This volume collects a wide range of writings from Ramesses I through XI to complement the previous six volumes in the series. It includes little-known papyri, supplementary historical sources, and many administrative items from the boundless flow of jottings on ostraca from the Deir el-Medina workmen's village and finds in the Valleys of Kings and Queens.

Many of the texts included have been translated into English for the first time in this volume.
