Rock tombs of El Amarna authorship

[edit]

de Ricci is credited on the cover of some modern editions of The Rock Tombs of El Amarna, eg.

  • de Garis Davies, N.; de Ricci, S.; Egypt Exploration Society (1908). The Rock Tombs of El Amarna: Tombs of Parennefer, Tutu, and Aÿ. Archaeological survey of Egypt. Retrieved 27 November 2018.
  • de Garis Davies, N.; de Ricci, S.; Martin, G.T. (1905). The Rock Tombs of El-AÌ•marna: The tomb of Meyra. Archaeological Survey of Egypt. Memoir, 13th-18th, 35th. Sold at the Offices of the Egypt Exploration Fund. Retrieved 27 November 2018.

However, if you flip a few pages in to the Google Books scan, the apparent original cover page of these works credits only de Garis Davies. I see no evidence that de Ricci authored or edited these works. I think it most probable that this is a recent error. For the time being, I am going to remove these works from this article until other evidence of authorship can be provided. Daask (talk) 11:55, 27 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
