Concordances, relating the old and new numberings of positions in The Eloquent Peasant.

Source:

R.B. Parkinson. The Tale of the Eloquent Peasant. Griffith Institute, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 1991.

There is an error in the published concordances for version R (page xliii of the above). Based on private communication with R.B. Parkinson on Sep 4 2000, this has been corrected as follows:

Old 160-166 = New 23.1-7
Old 167-73 = New 24.1-7
Old 174-5 = New 25.1-2

The transliteration throughout follows the dictionary by Hannig.

At the moment, this work has not been double-checked, so it may contain errors and/or inconsistencies.

Included are version R, up to 8.5, version B1, from 33 up to 357, and version B2, from 91. Alignment between these 3 versions and alignment with version Bt is occasionally, but not consistently, indicated.

Hannig/Faulkner (http://www.dfki.uni-sb.de/~nederhof/AEL/peasant/peas-lx.xml)

Lexical information.

Only a limited number of lexical entries is included. One reason to include entries is if the writing in the text deviates from the transliterations from Hannig. Also proper nouns will mostly be included if found in the dictionary. In addition, some less common words and compounds are occasionally included.

Consulted publications:

R.O. Faulkner. A Concise Dictionary of Middle Egyptian. Griffith Institute, Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, 1962.
R. Hannig. Grosses Handwörterbuch Ägyptisch-Deutsch: die Sprache der Pharaonen (2800-950 v.Chr.). Verlag Philipp von Zabern, 1995.

I use Hannig's dictionary where possible, it being the more modern of the two. I cite Faulkner only when it contains essential information that is not provided by Hannig.
