The slips are individual hieroglyphic words and signs, with references which may refer to Jean-Francois Champollion's Dictionnaire.

MS taken from Bleek's copy of 'Grammatica Linguae Persicae' (according to BC 151's library fonds), comprising 124 snippets with small drawings and page references. The dubious 'Grammatica Linguae Persicae' ascription (inexplicably alluding to Persian instead of Egyptian), scrawled in pencil on the verso of the enclosing University of Cape Town envelope, seems to have been done by a librarian or archivist that handled the material at some indeterminable date. These slips demonstrate no connection with Ignatius � Jesu (1661), Franz Lorenz von Dombay (1804), or Johann August Vullers' (1870) works by the same name.
