Reading edition
This contains the latest views of the author, whose most important discoveries were made near the close of his life. The Précis contains much that Champollion afterwards rejected as erroneous. The Dictionnaire is a compilation, made after his death from what he wrote at different periods of his life. It is inconsistent with itself, and abounds in errors, so as to be worse than useless to the student.
