JCCC Egyptology Courses Spring 2026 *Online*
Introduction to Hieratic
Day: Wednesdays
Dates: 02/04/2026-02/25/2026
Time: 7-9 pm Central

Description: This course is an introduction to the cursive, calligraphic script of the ancient Egyptians. Often compared to East Asian calligraphy, hieratic is the “priestly writing” of ancient Egypt. We will examine the types of documents that were written in hieratic, learn the fundamentals of how the script worked, and acquire basic hieratic vocabulary using the “Story of the Shipwrecked Sailor” as our guide. Prior study in Egyptian hieroglyphs is encouraged but not required.
Class materials will be provided in Canvas.
