Lingua Aegyptiaca Restituta

[2][3]: 4  Lingua Aegyptiaca Restituta was dedicated to the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand III and published in Rome by Herman Scheuss.

When Obicini died, Della Valle passed the material on to Kircher,[6] who did not give either of them credit in his acknowledgements,[5]: 532  but the work was in fact a translation of the glossaries contained in those manuscripts.

[7] At the same time, Kircher used the new book as an opportunity to include extensive revisions to the Prodromus Coptus—various scholars had pointed out mistakes in his earlier work.

Lingua Aegyptiaca Restituta, on the other hand, was regarded as an authoritative piece of scholarship for many years—as late as 1775 parts of it were incorporated into Scholtz and Woide's Lexicon Aegyptiaco-Latinum.

[8] The preface also announced that, having concluded his studies of Coptic, he intended to publish a comprehensive work on the language of ancient Egypt, his Oedipus Aegyptiacus.
