A selection of Ptolemaic anthropoid sarcophagi in Cairo /
:
"The individually designed anthropoid sarcophagi of the Ptolemaic period (ca. 330-30 BCE) offer a particularly rich and varied repertoire of hieroglyphic inscriptions and religious scenes. Being at the end of a long tradition of funerary literature, many of the epigraphs on these objects are variations or reinterpretations of older texts that have been circulated and transmitted over millennia. Others are entirely new creations that provide insight into funerary beliefs of late ancient Egypt. The present volume is the second and last publication of a joint project between scholars from Cairo University and the University of Tübingen on Late and Ptolemaic period sarcophagi housed in the museums of Cairo. It includes the detailed publication of eighteen sarcophagi, which until now have only been known through brief descriptions. The facsimile drawings, detailed pictures, translations and commentaries presented here will allow scholars to approach this corpus with a broad range of research questions."--

The Tekenu and Ancient Egyptian Funerary Ritual /
:
What is the 'Tekenu'? What was its function? What are its origins? These are questions upon which Egyptologists have long pondered but have not, until now, produced any major work to provide answers. Previous treatments of the 'Tekenu' largely adopt a selective approach focusing on a specific form. Rarely has the 'Tekenu' been examined profoundly in all its forms or contexts and its possible origins have been commented upon merely in passing. The aim of this book is to provide a provocative examination and interpretation of the 'Tekenu' in an endeavour to proffer plausible answers hitherto eluding scholars. Attested from the Fifth Dynasty until, and including, the Saite Period, the 'Tekenu' is a puzzling icon which is depicted within the funerary scenes in the tombs of some ancient Egyptian nobles. In this work four distinct types of 'Tekenu' are identified and classified and then a Corpus Catalogue is formed. This book will be of interest to the serious student as well as to anyone fascinated by the hidden messages to be revealed in the funerary iconography of ancient Egyptian tombs.

Les Enfants d'Horus au Nouvel Empire et à la Troisième Période Intermédiaire : étude iconographique, philologique et religieuse /
:
Première synthèse consacrée aux Enfants d'Horus, dieux incontournables dans le paysage iconographique funéraire dès le début du Nouvel Empire. Protecteurs des viscères d'Osiris, ils se voient aussi confier ceux du défunt qui aspire à associer son devenir à celui du dieu. Les Enfants d'Horus occupent donc une place privilégiée aux côtés du défunt qui souhaite vivre éternellement dans l'au-delà. L'objectif de cet ouvrage est de présenter, dans un premier temps, chaque Enfant d'Horus individuellement à travers son nom, sa figuration, son costume, ainsi que sa fonction, et les formules qui lui sont associées. Dans un second temps, l'attention sera portée sur le groupe cohérent qu'ils forment et qui prends place tantôt sur une fleur de lotus, tantôt autour du défunt, tant sur le mobilier funéraire que dans les tombes et les temples. Cette étude s'appuie sur un catalogue d'attestations issues des temples, des tombes et du mobilier funéraire royal, de nombreux papyrus funéraires ainsi que des tombes privées dont plusieurs sont inédites. Un chapitre entier est consacré à la traduction des légendes qui accompagnent les Enfants d'Horus.

Development of royal funerary traditions along the middle Nile valley during the Napatan Period (in the 7th century BC) /
:
The Napatan Period is the link between Egypt and Meroe, in time, in space, and in culture. Stimuli from Egypt had been adopted to express and formulate indigenous ideas, which deve loped their own dynamics and eventually become recog nisable as the distinctive Meroitic culture. This thesis paves the way for a better understand ing of the inter-societal transfer of religious ideas and symbols, as well as their role in Nubian state formation.
