4th International Summer School
The main goal of the summer school is to provide strong ability in reading and interpreting ancient Egyptian documents in hieratic and cursive hieroglyphs, beyond basic knowledge. This will be achieved through three different levels:
1) Decoding hieratic script (basic);
2) Intensive practice of reading (hieratic sources) supervised by teachers;
3) Focus on paleographic and grammatical issues related to the Middle Egyptian texts.
By investigating different types of documents, participants will acquire self confidence in approaching autonomously ancient Egyptian writings in Middle Egyptian, especially those written in hieratic.
All sessions will be taught by international leading experts with privileged access to current research: Dr. Gianluca Miniaci (University of Pisa); Dr. Ilona Regulski (British Museum); Dr. Carlos Gracia Zamacona (University of Alcalá, Madrid); Dr. Antonio Morales (University of Alcalá, Madrid).

The course will run from the 6th to the 11th of July, 2020.
