Autorenporträt
Dr. E. A. Wallis Budge is known as being one of the most renowned Egyptologists in the world. After discovering the Papyrus of Ani in 1888, he became the Assistant Keeper and eventually the Keeper of Oriental Antiquities at the British Museum. Though his career was controversial, he brought many tablets, manuscripts, and other findings from his multiple trips to Egypt and the Sudan back to the museum and his dozens of books on Egyptology helped bring his findings to a wider audience. In 1920, he was knighted for his service to Egyptology and the British Museum. He died in London in 1934 at the age of seventy-seven. Foy Scalf studied Egyptology at the University of Chicago, where he wrote a dissertation on Demotic funerary papyri from 1st–2nd century CE Egypt. His published work covers a variety of topics including Egyptian grammar, philology, Demotic texts, magic, and religion. He is a research associate and head of Research Archives at the Oriental Institute. He was awarded the Archival Innovator award from the Society of American Archivists in 2016. In 2017, he curated the Oriental Institute special exhibit Book of the Dead: Becoming God in Ancient Egypt and edited the accompanying catalog. He has regularly taught classes for the Oriental Institute Museum, the Department of Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations at the University of Chicago, as well as the School of Information Studies at Dominican University.
