This rapid survey can only give a very sketchy sense of the richness of the CPI. While it contains no inedita, CPI performs a welcome and necessary task by bringing under one cover the more than 200 inscriptions that fall under the remit of the volume. The next two, which one hopes will appear in due time, will fill out our bookshelves with a complete corpus of material central to the historical, religious, social, and cultural study of Egypt from the conquest of Alexander the Great to the end of the dynasty with the suicide of Kleopatra VII. Given the complexity of editing and printing a book with transliterated hieroglyphic and Demotic, and Greek, the price is within the reach of most academic libraries and academics. My own bookshelves groan with very expensive copies of collections of Greek inscriptions from Egypt, many of which I had to find used, and I still do not have a complete collection. The CPI will relieve our dependence (in the first instance, of course; for certain research purposes it will still be necessary to consult this raft of material) on obscure, rare books and access to rich and highly specialized research libraries. For most scholars interested in Ptolemaic Egypt, however, the CPI will provide “one-stop shopping” for access to the richness of the epigraphic legacy of one of the most important successor kingdoms—and a clear sense of the complex interplay of indigenous Egyptian cultural and political conventions expressed in hieroglyphic and Demotic practices with the Greek epigraphic tradition the Ptolemies and their people brought with them.
