List of writers about Egypt till the 19th century

This is a list of writers who have written extensible about Egypt and their produced accounts, and may be considered essential, the only, highly popular, ground breaking, major or primary sources on various subjects related to Egyptian history. It includes only accounts published, and in case of no publishing, written, before the turn of the 19th century, before widespread tourism, excavations and travel writing commenced. The date is the publication of the first publication, not minding that later editions or translations to other languages might be more easily accessible, enlarged in contents, containing more relevant Egyptian material or be better known. The list is sorted by publishing date, whiles the actual travel, study or compiling of the work, may have occurred many years before that date.
