		The character of the writing, the subject of epigraphy, is a matter quite separate from the nature of the text, which is studied in itself.

		epigraphy encompasses inscriptions from the earliest complex societies to those of modern states.
		epigraphy sometimes does not include the study of texts painted on ceramics or written on papyrus or wood, which are regarded as within the studies of ceramics and papyrology, respectively.
		epigraphy deals both with the form of the inscriptions, and with their content: study of the form enables assessment of the development of language and the alphabet; their content is, however, usually more important for the light thrown on the social, political, religious, and economic life of the ancient world.

	THE ORIENTAL INSTITUTE AND EPIGRAPHY
		His observation of the many discrepancies in the publications shocked him and impressed upon him the importance of careful recording of texts - the discipline known as "epigraphy." His resolve to record the ancient inscriptions properly was strengthened by his realization that many inscriptions were being eroded or vandalized before they could be documented.
		Breasted's determination to produce accurate facsimiles of texts and their associated decoration led to the foundation of an epigraphic program that is, to this day, one of the principle contributions of The Oriental Institute to the field of Egyptology.
		The hallmark of this procedure continues to be the systematic checking of the artistic rendering against the original by a team of epigraphers and artists.

		Equally valuable to epigraphy is the potential that electronic transcriptions offer for statistical analyses of collections of texts.
		For example, a text archive, which might easily contain the entire corpus of inscriptions, can be searched as a single document, and patterns of glyphic distribution, substitution and combination can be detected with great speed and accuracy.
