Summary/Abstract: This study presents the progress of negotiations related to the establishment of the Czechoslovak Institute of Egyptology in 1956. At that time, František Lexa and Zbyněk Žába had travelled as part of a cultural delegation to Egypt and managed to secure from their Egyptian counterparts a preliminary consent to the foundation of the Institute. The study traces the development of this initiative until 1960, when the Institute was established as an independent research body within the Faculty of Arts of the Charles University. The author focuses on the institutional underpinnings of the Institute (its relations to both the Charles University and the Czechoslovak Academy of Sciences) and on issues related to the scope of its scientific activities.
