The thirty-nine articles in this volume, One Who Loves Knowledge, have
been contributed by colleagues, students, friends, and family in honor
of Richard Jasnow, professor of Egyptology at Johns Hopkins University.
Despite his claiming to be just a demoticist, Richard Jasnow's research
interests and specialties are broad, spanning religious and historical
topics, along with new editions of demotic texts, including most
particularly the Book of Thoth. A number of the authors demonstrate
their appreciation for Jasnow's contributions to the understanding of
this difficult text. The volume also includes other studies on
literature, Ptolemaic history, and even the god Thoth himself, and
features detailed images and abundant hieroglyphic, hieratic, demotic,
Coptic, and Greek texts.
