Abstract
The article discusses the relationship between two ‘founding fathers’ of modern Egyptology – Adolf Erman and William Matthew Flinders Petrie and analyses their respective School-traditions, being considered to be a part of a process of diversification of Egyptology as a scholarly discipline into the fields of archaeology and philology. Quoting the correspondence of A. Erman with British Egyptologists, like A. H. Gardiner or W. E. Crum, the article also illustrates the modes of co-operation between British and German Egyptologists.
