Translation of Georg Möller's works on Hieratic

Tom Stableford has translated from German the three (relevant) parts of Georg Möller’s Hieratische Paläographie into English and transcribed and transliterated a part of the three volumes of Möller's Hieratische Lesestücke für den akademischen Gebrauch. Below you may find the instalments that have appeared (2015-2018).


English translation of: Georg Möller, Hieratische Paläographie. Die aegyptische Buchschrift in ihrer Entwicklung von der fünften Dynastie bis zur römischen Kaiserzeit. 3 Bände. Hinrichs, Leipzig 1909.


English translation of: Georg Möller, Hieratische Lesestücke für den akademischen Gebrauch. 3 Bände. Hinrichs, Leipzig 1910–1927

N.B.: Möller only provides the bare hieratic text with very brief introduction and some notes. In the following files, you may find below that text a commentary/analyis (i.e., hieratic, Möller's sign codes, hieroglyphic equivalence, Gardiner's sign codes, transcription) by Tom Stableford.
