Summary
This is a catalogue of an exhibtion in honour of Ippolito Rosellini held from January 27 to February 23, 2010 in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. Together with Jean-Francois Champollion, Rosellini was the founding figure of modern Egyptology. In 1828-1829 Rosellini led a Franco-Tuscan expedition to Egypt with the aim of recording monuments, reliefs, paintings and inscriptions. Many of these monuments have now been destroyed, making the publication of this expedition, almost 200 years later, a fundamental research tool. The catalogue presents a selection of his orginial drawings. Text in English and Italian.
