Abstract
THE death is announced of Miss Mary Brodrick, who was well known as an Egyptologist. Miss Brodrick entered College Hall, London, as a student in 1888, studying Egyptology at University College, where she was under the tuition of Dr. Stuart Poole and Mr. (afterwards Sir) Peter le Page Renouf. This, however, was not her first introduction to the subject, as she had already studied at the Sorbonne in Paris, taking archaeology and Hebrew under G. Maspero and Ernest Renan. In 1894-96, Miss Brodrick held the Pfeiffer fellowship, lectured at the British Museum and travelled in Italy, Greece and Egypt. In Egypt, where Maspero had recently been appointed director-general of antiquities, she did much valuable work under him, translating Mariette Bey's “Apercu de l'Histoire d'Egypte”, editing Brugsch Bey's “Egypt under the Pharaohs” and revising Murray's “Guides” to Palestine, Syria and the Lebanon. She also rewrote Murray's “Guide to Egypt”.
