| 520 | |a One group of ancient Egyptian drawings has captured the curiosity of scholars and laypeople alike: images of animals acting like people. They illustrate animal fables originally from a larger mythological narrative, making them an integral part of New Kingdom Thebes's religious environment.

This publication is also the first thorough art historical treatment of the ostraca and papyri.
