title: Egyptology: The Missing Millennium: Ancient Egypt in Medieval Arabic Writings (UCL Institute of Archaeology Publications)
author:  Okasha El Daly 
description: "The main strength of the book lies in its making available a wealth of medieval Arabic extracts from manuscripts, many of which have never been published before. Hopefully this book will act as an incentive for the publication of more medieval Arabic source material! The inclusion of this material, otherwise difficult or impossible to access, makes reading this book an experience that many readers will definitely enjoy." Aayko Eyma, Egyptologist's Electronic Forum<br /><br />"This is an impressive piece of work. It deals with a grossly neglected and misunderstood subject -the interest and knowledge of Ancient Egypt on the part of Arabic/ Moslem writers in the Medieval period - and it covers this subject from many aspects." - Professor Charles Burnett, The Warburg Institute
