12. Ägyptologische Tempeltagung : Synergie und Divergenz : zum Zusammenwirken von Bild und Text in ägyptischen Tempeln, Würzburg, 2020 /
:
"Die Einheit von Bild und Text wird in der neueren Forschung als "Grosshieroglyphe" bezeichnet, um diese Einheit von der modernen Vorstellung des "Bildes" abzugrenzen. Der Begriff impliziert, dass man die agyptischen Ritualszenen lesen und deuten kann, sobald man ihnen mit dem notwendigen Wissen begegnet. Bild und Text sind auf den Wanden agyptischer Tempel, und nicht nur dort, inhaltlich eng miteinander verbunden. Sie nehmen Rucksicht auf die Architektur, auf Rituale, auf die Topographie u.a.m. Diese Wechselbeziehung war Thema der 12. Agyptischen Tempeltagung, die der Corona-Pandemie wegen abgesagt werden musste, deren geplante Vortrage jedoch nun in diesem Band publiziert werden. In den zwolf Beitragen (deutsch, englisch, franzosisch) wird untersucht, inwieweit Bild und Text in agyptischen Tempeln aufeinander Rucksicht nahmen, welche Fehler beim Anbringen an Tempelwanden entstanden und wie man sie ggf. korrigierte. Wie wurde in den Darstellungen reagiert, wenn man Besonderheiten in den Texten beachten musste und umgekehrt? Solche Besonderheiten ergaben sich aus der Rucksichtnahme auf die Architektur, auf Neuentwicklungen und Traditionen. Angesprochen werden Beziehungen zwischen den Tempeln gemeinsamer Rituale, die Ubernahme von Texten und Bildern und von Neuerungen bei der Darstellung des Kultgeschehens. Die Beitrage werfen teils alte Fragen neu auf, etwa die Frage nach der Darstellung des realen, also dreidimensionalen Raums im Flachbild oder nach der beabsichtigten Vieldeutigkeit der Bilder, nach Konnotationen in Texten durch Auswahlen oder Anpassen von Hieroglyphen an die Darstellungen. Es wird auch thematisiert, wer die Texte und Darstellungen in den Raumlichkeiten der Tempel sehen und lesen konnte und wie z.B. Texte und Darstellungen der Ritualszenen auf die architektonischen Gegebenheiten eines Tempels, etwa Platzmangel durch Treppen und Turen, reagierten"--

Pilgrimage and holy space in late antique Egypt /
:
This volume deals with the origins and rise of Christian pilgrimage cults in late antique Egypt. Part One covers the major theoretical issues in the study of Coptic pilgrimage, such as sacred landscape and shrines' catchment areas, while Part Two examines native Egyptian and Egyptian Jewish pilgrimage practices. Part Three investigates six major shrines, from Philae's diverse non-Christian devotees to the great pilgrim center of Abu Mina and a Thecla shrine on its route. Part Four looks at such diverse pilgrims' rites as oracles, chant, and stational liturgy, while Part Five brings in Athanasius's and an anonymous hagiographer's perspectives on pilgrimage in Egypt. The volume includes illustrations of the Abu Mina site, pilgrims' ampules from the Thecla shrine, as well as several maps.

Power, politics, and the cults of Isis : proceedings of the Vth International Conference of Isis studies, Boulogne-sur-Mer, October 13-15, 2011 /
:
In the Hellenistic and Roman world intimate relations existed between those holding power and the cults of Isis. This book is the first to chart these various appropriations over time within a comparative perspective. Ten carefully selected case studies show that "the Egyptian gods" were no exotic outsiders to the Hellenistic and Roman Mediterranean, but constituted a well institutionalised and frequently used religious option. Ranging from the early Ptolemies and Seleucids to late Antiquity, the case studies illustrate how much symbolic meaning was made with the cults of Isis by kings, emperors, cities and elites. Three articles introduce the theme of Isis and the longue durée theoretically, simultaneously exploring a new approach towards concepts like ruler cult and Religionspolitik .

Voyager d'Égypte vers l'Europe et inversement : parcours croisés (1830-1950) /
:
"Contre un préjugé largement établi qui tend à récuser l'existence de tout occidentalisme face à un orientalisme triomphant, ce collectif met en lumière un ensemble de voyages en Europe rédigés par des intellectuels de la Renaissance arabe. De ces récits, il se dégage une curiosité multiforme à l'égard de la civilisation occidentale, mais aussi un discours de savoir dont on tente ici de cerner les enjeux. La seconde visée de ce collectif est de faire entrer en résonance ces textes encore peu connus avec des relations de voyage en sens inverse - vers l'Égypte, vers l'Orient -, revisitées pour l'occasion. Le tout à la lumière d'une réflexion plus générale sur les récents acquis de la littérature viatique."--Page 4 of cover.

Nomes et toparchies en Égypte gréco-romaine : Realités administratives et géographie religieuse d'Éléphantine à Memphis /
:
Regional and administrative units, nomes and toparchies divided Ptolemaic and Roman Egypt into a multitude of regions and districts, allowing the total control of the state over the land. Used since at least the Old Kingdom, this system has undergone important changes throughout the history of the country. However, the pace and nature of the remodelling seem to intensify during the Greco-Roman period. This book analyses the territorial division of Egypt, between Elephantine and Memphis, and its fluctuations from the third century BC to the end of the third century AD, when the reforms of Diocletian changed the system again. In parallel to the study of the country's administrative division, the religious geography outlined in the nomes lists and processions of this late period is investigated in detail in order to highlight the reciprocal influences between these two modes of perception of the Egyptian landscape. The interactions observed in this study, even minimal ones, make it possible to nuance the fossilisation of priestly geography and thus to reconsider the traditional Egyptological cliché which claims that a strong distinction is to be made between these two geographies, especially during the Ptolemaic and Roman eras. :

Le sanctuaire osirien de douch : travaux de I'Ifao dans le secteur temple en pierre, 1976-1994 /
:
"The site of Douch had never been excavated at the time Serge Sauneron, director of the IFAO, began de-sanding the area of the temple of the early Roman Empire in 1976. Before reaching the paved floors, the excavations revealed several levels of occupation under the Late Roman Empire. These campaigns and those subsequent, up until 1994, revealed the existence of several buildings preceding Roman times, such as a Ptolemaic brick sanctuary beneath the temple and other even older buildings, at the least dating back to the Persian time.The history of the archaeological works is followed by six chapters on the architecture of the buildings in the area: the enclosures and their doors, the courtyards and their fittings, the temple and its column porch, the chapel attached to a fault in the ground, probably a place of primitive worship. The text is amply illustrated with maps, sections and elevations. Examination of the construction details enabled to determine the chronological succession of the buildings, and to explain some anomalies or to restitute some of the parts destroyed.The dating of the main brick buildings and their remodeling was possible thanks to Michel Wuttmann who, from 2007 to 2011, had plants extracted from the walls, which were then collected and analyzed by radiocarbon. These new chronological markers allow to propose, in the last chapter, some restitutions of the successive states of the sanctuary in plan and perspective, from the Persian period to the Late Roman Empire."--https://www.ifao.egnet.net/publications/catalogue/DFIFAO/

11. Ägyptologische Tempeltagung : the discourse between tomb and temple /
:
This volume of the book series Königtum, Staat und Gesellschaft früher Hochkulturen contains the proceedings of the eleventh international conference dedicated to the ancient Egyptian temple in all its aspects, which was hosted by the Czech Institute of Egyptology, Faculty of Arts, Charles University in Prague in May 2017. The main theme of the meeting, the "Discourse between Tomb and Temple" revolved around the many diverse types of interaction that existed between two crucial and tangible expressions of ancient Egyptian thought, belief and culture. Ranging from the Old Kingdom to the era of Roman presence, the fourteen papers in this volume present, analyse and interpret evidence expressed in art, architecture, language, ritual, funerary and other practices, with a spotlight on relations, connections and exchanges between temple and tomb and its development and changing nature over time. This includes topics related to the transmission and exchange of specific textual corpora in addition to individual texts, decorative patterns or architectural elements as well as the interchangeability of rituals. Overall, the papers indicate incontestable distinctions between tomb and temple as well as substantial commonalities. These various forms of exchanges and interactions are moreover not static, but appear to develop and intensify over time, especially from the era of the New Kingdom onward.

A Dictionary of Egyptian civilization/
:
"Three thousand five hundred years of Egyptian history are covered in this book. It starts with the prehistoric tribes and ends with the Roman occupation. ... This dictionary is only a dictionary in the sense that the 420 articles are in alphabetical order. Each article is a considered essay in its subject, not a catalogue of facts. Every aspect of Egyptian civilization is covered--politics, art religion, daily life, science and so on. A special feature is the information given about the flora and fauna of Egypt, and their influence on religion and life."
