The present volume is dedicated to the famous German scholar H. Brugsch. Publication of the Catalogue of the Christian liturgical books and three Egyptian papyri from the Imperial Public library in St. Petersburg compiled by H. Brugsch in Berlin in 1862 is of particular importance. It is a specific book in the ET series: eight researchers from different countries have contributed to this project. The reports are in Russian, German, French, and English; scientific papers, presented in three chapters with collective lists of abbreviations and bibliographical references, cover various periods of ancient Egyptian history.
