Note 204 — Chapter VII · ToC

We owe our knowledge of the Egyptian marriage contracts chiefly to M. Revillout, whose works should be consulted. See also Paturet (the pupil of Revillout), La Condition juridique de la femme dans l'ancienne Égypte; Nietzold, Die Ehe in Aegypten; Greenfel, Greek Papyri; Amélineau, La Morale Égyptienne; Müller, Liebespoesie der alten Aegypten, and the numerous works of M. Maspero and Flinders Petrie. Simcox, writing on "Ownership in Egypt," gives a good summary of the subject, Primitive Civilisations, Vol. I. pp. 204-211; also Hobhouse, Morals in Evolution, Vol. I. p. 182, et seq.
