RIKART, Carl von. Menes and Cheops Identified in

RIKART, Carl von. Menes and Cheops Identified in History Under Different Names: With Other Cosas. London: [Spottiswoode and Co. for] Longmans, Green and Co., 1869. 8vo. Half–title, wood–engraving frontispiece, 4 wood–engraved plates, publisher’s ads at rear. Original publisher’s pictorial brown cloth stamped in black, gilt–lettered spine, bound by Westleys & Co. (binder’s ticket). (Recased preserving original spine and endpapers). FIRST EDITION. Includes Rikart’s rationale for aligning the chronology of Egyptian dynasties with the history of the bible. Rikart argues that Egyptologists’ small–minded anti–Bible stance failed to recognize that the Pharaohs of Egypt were characters from the bible and uses pseudohistory as a basis for these claims. VERY SCARCE.
