 Brill Signs New Harvard Egyptological Studies Book Series  
  
Leiden (NL) / Boston (MA) - 10 June 2014  
  
Brill, the international scholarly publisher, has signed an  
agreement to publish a book series in cooperation with the  
Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations, and  
the Department of Anthropology, both of which are in the Faculty  
of Arts and Sciences at Harvard University. The book series is  
entitled "Harvard Egyptological Studies."  
  
The series will present scholarly publications in the field of  
Egyptology and will highlight, but is by no means limited to,  
aspects of the Harvard University-Boston Museum of Fine Arts  
Expedition (1905-1947). Invited topics include recent PhD  
dissertations, reports from excavations, specialized studies  
in ancient Egyptian language and culture, conference proceedings,  
and the history of the field of Egyptology.  
  
The series will be edited by [**Peter Der Manuelian**](/people/peter-der-manuelian), Philip J. King  
Professor of Egyptology and Director of the Harvard Semitic Museum,  
and the first volume in the series will be available in 2015. "We  
are delighted with the University's new contribution to Egyptology,  
and hope that among other accomplishments it will bring renewed  
emphasis on the spectacular legacy of the Harvard-MFA Expedition,"  
Manuelian said.
