The main task of the expeditions, to secure scientifically manuscripts and depiction of the Temple of Philae and those in Lower Nubia, in danger of being destroyed, left little time for the lesser task, the study of language and customs of today's Barábra. What has been achieved in this regard is included in this work." Illustrated with twenty-four in-text figures. Text in German and Nubian.
