A Companion to Demotic Studies, Mark Depauw's 1997 reference work from a specialist Egyptological foundation, is a structured guide to the demotic script and its textual corpus by an established scholar of Ptolemaic and Roman era Egyptian documents. Its strength is that it is produced by a specialist in the field. Its limit is its reference format and age; it is a guide to the field as it stood in 1997, not itself a source for any single demotic text's specific content.
