Hieroglyphic text of the Maxims of Good Discourse
of Papyrus Prisse, Papyri BM & the Carnarvon Tablet
by Zbynek Zába (1956)
In 1956, Zába
realized a decisive translation and also reproduced the hieroglyphs of the four
main sources in a comprehensive and clear way (which was absent in the work of
Dévaud, 1916). These hieroglyphs were published
more than 40 years ago by the "Academie
Tchécoslovatique des Sciences" of Prague (under the academician Frantisek
Lexa),
i.e. in former Czechoslovakia. They are identical with those published by him
in 1948 in his thesis : Les Maximes de Ptahhotep, Texte, Traduction et
Commentaires.
