Summary:

"It was the great work Description de l'Egypte, published in Paris in 1809-1828, that first drew Western attention to Egyptian art and architecture.
Using this work as a starting point, Dieter Arnold has drawn together all available resources for the reconstruction - some in computer-assisted images - of the temples of the Egyptian Late Period."--Jacket.
"These reconstructions, along with superb photographs of extant temple buildings, are included in this book on the formal and stylistic development of Egyptian temple architecture."--Jacket.
