Offerings to the gods in Egyptian temples /
:
Kings and gods adorn the walls of Egyptian temples in face -to-face meetings, and for two millennia these depictions have united the king and the divine. The king, the son of the god, presents his ancestors an offering or performs a ritual. Over two hundred offerings are divided into broad categories : purification, beverages, foods, produce from the fields, fabrics, ointments and adornments ; rituals for goddesses and gods; symbolic, cosmic, funerary and defensive rituals ; and royal cult rituals. All are explained, from their simple action (e.g. offering beer as a daily drink) to their symbolic meaning (beer is also a sacred drink that induces ecstasy of a divine nature which annihilates the destructive force of the daughter of Ra). A drawing and photographs illustrate each offering. The title of the offering is given in hieroglyphs to enable everyone to locate the words on the temple walls. Translations of the most significant texts accompany each of the offerings.

Dendara : la porte d'Horus /
:
"The Horus Gate brings to a close the two-thousand-year-old cycle which saw Edfu and Dendara united by the closest religious ties. The domain to which it gave access constitutes an enclave within the southern city (Edfu). Horus joins Hathor, and both celebrate Osiris Pa-Akhem, in whose quadruple spirit are subsumed Re, Sokar, Horus, and Osiris. The texts indicate that the Osirian workshop was located in the domain of Horus; from there, the processions went to the Osirian necropolis, the site where the mysteries of Khoiak were performed at Dendara. Completely unpublished until now, the texts and representations from the Horus Gate, decorated in the names of Antoninus Pius (138-161 AD) and Marcus Aurelius (161-180 AD), constitute the final priestly production from a city already flourishing in the Old Kingdom."--Page 4 of cover.

Dendara : La porte d'Hathor /
:
Publication hiéroglyphique et photographique de la porte monumentale menant au domaine d'Hathor. La construction de l'édifice, engagée sous le règne de Domitien, fut achevée par Trajan. À cette frontière entre le profane et le sacré, la population assistait aux nombreuses processions qui se déroulaient dans l'enceinte. À l'entrée de la porte, Domitien verse de la bière sur le sol: il sanctifie celui-ci avant les fêtes de l'ivresse durant lesquelles Hathor était intronisée par Rê d'Héliopolis et Ptah de Memphis. Le temple d'Hathor et sa porte monumentale suivent un axe nord-sud de l'Héliopolis de Rê à l'Héliopolis-fémine qu'est Dendara.
