摘要：Less well-known than either his predecessor Samuel Birch or his eventual successor Ernest A. Wallis
Budge, the Egyptologist and Orientalist Peter le Page Renouf was Keeper of the Department of
Oriental Antiquities at the British Museum from 1886 to 1891. Unlike the long reigns of Birch and
Budge, Renouf was acrimoniously forced out of office after five years, despite being acknowledged as
an outstanding scholar. His writings were collected and published after his death by his widow and to
these are now added his correspondence, published in four volumes as part of the 150th anniversary
celebrations of University College, Dublin (formerly the Catholic University). Each volume is prefaced
with a resumé of his life and an appendix containing brief biographies of those mentioned in the letters.
Translations are given for the German letters but not the French.
