Texte by Pierre Victor Lottin De Laval. Voyage Dans La Péninsule Arabique Du Sinai Et L'Égypte Moyenne is a nineteenth-century travelogue that documents a comprehensive expedition through the Sinai Peninsula and neighboring Egypt. The work blends historical scholarship, epigraphic study, and topographical observation as the author records inscriptions carved on rock, bas-reliefs, and monuments, and reproduces them through a plastic moulding process. It includes extended introductions, critical discussions of classical sources on the Exodus route, and an itinerary tracing Moïse's march from Ramesses to the Sinai and the Jordanian and Egyptian coasts. The volume reflects a pioneering interpreter's attempt to reconcile religious texts with physical geography, archaeology, and linguistic analysis, offering detailed field notes, maps, and a catalog of inscriptions collected during the journey. It is a foundational source for 19th-century Oriental studies and Sinai epigraphy, highlighting the challenges of ancient navigation, desert travel, and artifact reproduction.
