Kurt Sethe

Kurt Heinrich Sethe (30 September 1869 – 6 July 1934) was a German Egyptologist and philologist from Berlin.

The chief authorities to be consulted are Sethe's great work on the Egyptian verb, and a much later brilliant article entitled Die Vokalisation des Ägyptischen in Zeitschrift der deutschen morgenländischen Gesellschaft"" (1923).

Among Sethe's students were Hans Jakob Polotsky and Alan Gardiner.

Sethe also published a comprehensive collection of Egyptian epigraphy, which he called Urkunden der Aegyptologie.
