"The counterproofs of Champollion's Grammar (3 fasc., 1836-1841), preserved at the IFAO, form the intermediate step between the author's original manuscript, today conserved at the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and the published version. With hieroglyphics hand drawn by Cherubini, they are mostly significant for the history of printing and, beside a sentimental value for Egyptology, they also have a real artistic value"
