This book is the definitive bibliography of published literature on Egypt from the earliest times to 1918, published as monographs or as parts of collected travelers' tales. Limited to firsthand accounts of Egypt by travelers who actually visited there, it excludes pure guidebooks and books of strictly historical, anthropological, archaeological, or political interest. Works in all the European languages (including Cyrillic languages) are included, or works translated into those languages. With a map and a historical sketch of travel to Egypt.
