Zusammenfassung:	"The Historical Dictionary of Ancient and Medieval Nubia covers the Paleolithic period through all the periods of ancient Nubia (Predynastic, Kerma, Dynasty XXV, Napatan, Meroitic, Post-Meroitic) to the end of medieval Christianity in Nubia (Sudan). This valuable resource is based on the latest and best archaeological and epigraphic evidence, focusing on Nubian history through a Nubian perspective, rather than through the more common Egypto-centric perspective." "Newly created maps of the general area and its specific regions and place names as well as a photospread showing important related features of the region are included. A detailed chronology provides a timeline of historical events, and an introductory narrative shapes the overall history and leads to the main body of the work. The entries cover the main features of the region during time periods that are key not only to Nubian history, but also to the important interactions the Nubians had with Egypt to the north. Nine appendixes and an extensive bibliography conclude this work."--BOOK JACKET.
