What is the hieratische Paläographie DB?
Welcome to our Hieratische Paläographie DB! This is a retrieval system for hieratic scripts; it uses IIIF format images (owned by the Asian Research Library of the University of Tokyo) of Georg Möller's Hieratische Paläographie (1909–12). We hope this platform is useful for everyone who has an interest in Hieratic scripts.
Is there an annotated edition of Theinhardt's hieratische Paläographie?
Because no annotated editions exist for Theinhardt's sign list, on which the Hieratische Paläographie was based, the identification is in many cases uncertain. This can only be resolved by revisiting facsimiles of the original texts, and looking at the signs in their contexts.
How was Theinhardt's hieroglyphic sign list compiled?
It was compiled by looking at the hieratic and the hieroglyphic signs in the Hieratische Paläographie, as well as the meanings of the signs as far as they were mentioned by Möller. Because no annotated editions exist for Theinhardt's sign list, on which the Hieratische Paläographie was based, the identification is in many cases uncertain.

What is the most troublesome aspect of reading hieratic?
Undoubtedly the most troublesome aspect of reading Hieratic is the large number of signs that resemble one another to a greater or lesser degree. In some cases, e.g., the similarity of certain earthenware vessels, the distinction between forms is, to a certain extent, academic.
Is hieratic the same as Egyptian?
In addition to the mono-literals, determinatives, and logograms outlined above, Hieratic also utilizes bi- and tri-literal signs at more or less the same frequency as Hieroglyphic Egyptian. In addition, the use of phonetic complements with multi-literal signs is roughly comparable to Hieroglyphic.
