– Part of Dictionaries: Hannig, van der Molen

– Paleographical works: Paléographie Hiéroglyphique I-

VII, Hibis temple project, ect.

– Addendum to series: Daumas, Cauville

– Unpublished: Hornung & Schenkel


◼Sign-lists for digital encoding: Manuel de Codage


◼Sign-lists for digital encoding: Extended Library


◼Sign-lists for digital encoding

– Glyph

– MacScribe

– Winglyph

– JSesh

– Perfectglyph, etc.


◼To sum up:

• Fonts vs commented sign-lists (esp. with functions)

• Referenced or not

• Iconic information (i.e., what does the sign represent

and what matters from an iconic point of view) or not

• Paleographical information (esp. with diachronic

purposes, e.g., first use of the sign, first appearance

of function ‘x’, etc.) or not


◼The positive dimensions of existing sign-lists

– Functions

– Sources and references

– Diachronic information

◼Addition needed

– Description of the signs and standardization principles

– Collection of forms and analysis of the variation

– Harmonizing the codes
