Deir el-Gebrawi was one of the most important provinces in the Old
Kingdom, with governors buried there holding high administrative
positions, including that of vizier. The cemetery occupies two separate
cliffs, the nothern one of which received very limited attention from
Norman de Garis Davies, who first published it in 1902. The new record
includes all the surviving information on the architecture, art and
inscriptions in the tombs of the northern cliff, as well as
reproductions of certain sections from Davies' publication, where these
have deteriorated or been vandalized since 1902. The volume contains
records on the tombs of Henqu I and II and Hemre/Isi I and II, and
others, all documented in colour plates and line drawings.
