I. Presentation of the Manuscript
RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE AUTHORS
Text
-Choose a very simple word processor, without any layout, but with a very clear title
hierarchy.
-The manuscript must be paginated.
-Use an automatic and continuous numbering for the footnotes.
-Use the 2004 or later versions of Microsoft Word for writing texts in Latin characters, and for
those with Arabic characters, if necessary, use Mellel 2.1.
-Use the Unicode encoding. A Unicode keyboard as well as a converter in "raw text" mode of
most of the former Macintosh and PC transliteration fonts are available (to be consulted at under
the field label “Publications”, “Outils pour l’édition”, “Polices de caractères”
http://www.ifao.egnet.net/publications/outils/polices/).

Illustrations
-Give the original copies of the iconographic documents (photocopies or poor quality scans are to
be banned), accompanied with the required authorizations (authorization of publication or
reproduction for recent works).
-Supply a publication-like pre-model showing the layout for the photos and the drawings (scale,
arrangement).
-Give number and reference to each figure individually and in continuous; the numbering by
plate must not be used.
-For computer documents, the Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator or Acrobat formats are

ecommended. Except particular case, black and white publication is the norm.
-For iconographic recommendations, see also at www.ifao.egnet.net.
II. Submission of the Manuscript
-Give a complete file including a computer version (Word or RTF formats) on CD, necessarily
accompanied by a paper print of the work validated by the author and accompanied by a list of
the supplied elements: figures and tables with their legends. -For the BIFAO, make sure to join an
anonymous version in PDF format. This version will be directly passed on to the referee. On the
basis of his report and the appreciation of the editorial committee, a new version of the
manuscript might be asked. The deadline to submit a manuscript for the BIFAO is fixed on May
30th of every year. NB: during the proofread, some limited additions or modifications will be
allowed, but the addition or the deletion of a note or a paragraph won’t be possible.
III. Conventions to Respect
A. Typographic Rules
-For texts in English language, the typographic rules are the ones recommended by The Chicago
Manual of Style.
The Essential Guide for Writers, Editors, and Publishers, 15th Edition, Chicago, 2003.
www.chicagomanualofstyle.org
To keep in mind:
-For texts in French, capital letters are accented (as for example “Aux origines de l’Égypte”).
-The number of a dynasty or a century may be either spelled out – as for example the
Thirteenth Dynasty – or written as follow: 13th Dynasty.
-All quotations are put between the double quote “”.
-The quotation marks located inside a quotation are to be written in the following way:
“ ‘’ ”.
- The comma, the full stop, the ellipsis, the colon, the semicolon, the question mark and the
exclamation mark require no space before and one space after. The apostrophe, the hyphen, the
slash and the dash require no space before and no space after. The parentheses and the square
brackets require one space in the outside, no space in the inside. -The superscript number calling
for a footnote is positioned after the period (dot, comma, semi colon, etc.).
-For articles intended to the BIFAO or collective works such as Proceedings of Colloquiums,
avoid any crossreference to internal pagination. Mention only "infra" or "supra".
