Description
The Chicago Demotic Dictionary was created by the University of Chicago's Institute for the Study of Ancient Cultures, the Chicago Demotic Dictionary translates and explains words from the Demotic script, a special cursive handwriting style used in Egypt from roughly 650 BCE to the middle of the 5th century CE. Texts within this dictionary include legal and economic records, administrative files, and cultural works. It is free to use. The project was founded in 1975 under the direction of scholar Janet Johnson and was completed in 2012
