Stephen Quirke’s book, I think it’s simply called “Who Were the Pharaohs”, discusses the pharaohs named and ordered by the surviving versions of Manetho, and other sources, with an eye toward whether the existence of each is verified in a monumental inscription in Egypt, anywhere. In the process he mentions some which are attested in the monuments, but not in the ancient lists. Manetho’s list was probably derived from the same sources used to make the list carved into the interior wall of the Temple of Seti the Great; M’s list doesn’t survive in the original, only as quotes in other surviving ancient works.
