| 520 | |a Although Herodot's dictum that "Egypt is a gift of the Nile" is proverbial, there has been only scant attention to the way the river impacted on ancient Egyptian society.

The contributions in this volume bridge this gap by analyzing the river both as a natural and as a cultural phenomenon.
