This is a collection of important books and articles on the Turin King List written since its discovery in 1824.
Some of the often hard-to-find key works of earlier scholars were composed in French, Italian, and German. The language barrier poses a challenge for researchers of the king list, who often need to have the texts translated. This issue can be resolved as all the texts are now available in English.
The translations were performed using online tools. I have some knowledge of German and French, which helped with the spotty Italian translations. They were manually entered in the spring/summer of 2016 and are available for free. Any errors are unintentional. It is recommended to consult the original text, preferably a physical copy of the book or article, as the digital world is more prone to errors and corruption.
