About
Gardiner's Egyptian Grammar, though outdated, is still relevant and useful for students of the Egyptian language. (For example, the book does not mention the second tense.). In particular, his list of signs in the appendix is still widely used as of September, 2022. The entire grammar contains thirty-three lessons, each with a different number of sections. Gardiner is considered one of the best Egyptologists of all time.

Although the first edition of the study appeared over seventy years ago, Gardiner's Egyptian Grammar remains the most comprehensive presentation of Middle Egyptian available, and is still an essential reference tool for all advanced work in the language. The latest, third, edition, appeared in 1957 and is now in its tenth reprinting. After each new element of grammar the learner is given a set of exercises, and the book also contains useful resources such as a list of hieroglyphic signs and information about the development of the language.
