Georg Steindorff und die deutsche Ägyptologie im 20. Jahrhundert

G. Steindorff is one of the key figures in 20th century Egyptology. His life history mirrors the transformation of a developing discipline that was caught up in the turbulence of its own era. An examination of his legacy of correspondence provides insight into the motives, contexts, and internal dynamics of Egyptology from 1871 through National Socialism and the early post-war period.
