Pleine basane de l'époque, dos lisses ornés et dorés. Deux volumes in-8 (223x140mm), (4)-xvi-410-(4) pages et 16 planches / (2)-45 pages et 32 planches. Reliures frottées, coiffes accidentées. Edition originale. Décryptage de la langue hiéroglyphique par Champollion. La Pierre de Rosette, ramenée par les expéditions napoléoniennes en Egypte, donnait le même texte en trois langues différentes, c'est la clé qui donna à Champollion la compréhension de la langue des anciens Egyptiens. Après avoir posé le principe d'une écriture phonétique en 1822 dans sa Lettre à M. Dacier, il poursuivit ses travaux et ses démonstrations jusqu'à avoir une connaissance intime de cette langue : "C'est un système complexe, une écriture tout à la fois figurative, symbolique et phonétique, dans un même texte, une même phrase, je dirais presque dans le même mot" Son Précis du système hiéroglyphique nous donne avec force d'exemples une compréhension inédite des hiéroglyphes, coupant ainsi l'herbe sous le pied de ses contradicteurs (et concurrents) tels Thomas Young. La découverte de Champollion donnait d'un seul coup à l'humanité l'accès à trois millénaires de son histoire.

Two 8vo (223x140mm), (4)-xvi-410-(4) pages and 16 plates / (2)-45 pages and 32 plates. Bindings rubbed, caps worn. First edition. Decoding of the hieroglyphic language by Champollion. The Rosetta Stone, brought back by the Napoleonic expeditions to Egypt, gave the same text in three different languages, it is the key that gave Champollion the understanding of the language of the ancient Egyptians. After laying down the principle of phonetic writing in 1822 in his Letter to M. Dacier, he continued his work and his demonstrations until he had an intimate knowledge of this language: "It is a complex system, a writing at the same time figurative, symbolic and phonetic, in the same text, the same sentence, I would almost say in the same word" His Precis of the hieroglyphic system gives us with many examples an unprecedented understanding of hieroglyphs, thus cutting the grass under the feet of his opponents (and competitors) such as Thomas Young. The discovery of Champollion suddenly gave humanity access to three millennia of its history.
