Title: The monuments of Seti I
Description: "One of ancient Egypt's most outstanding and important rulers was Seti I. He is known for his wars in neighbouring Western Asia, Libya and Nubia, but also, perhaps foremost, for his impressive building programme.".

"Peter Brand's groundbreaking study is a major contribution to clarifying the internal history of his reign, revolutionises our understanding of Seti's restoration programme, and offers many new insights into the length of his reign, the royal succession and the establishment of the Ramesside house.

Apart from a thorough analysis and interpretation, the reader will find detailed catalogues of Seti's original monuments, restorations and additions to those of his predecessors (including extended examinations of the Karnak Hypostyle Hall and Abydos and Gurnah temples); new epigraphic and art historical criteria elucidating the chronology, the state of the programme at his death, and separating his reliefs from those of Ramesses I and II."--BOOK JACKET.
