Growing out of a colloquium organised in Sao Paulo in March 2016, here nine papers approach the potential of materiality in Ancient Egypt based on several case studies covering a wide range of topics such as Egyptian art, recent perspectives on sex and gender, hierarchies, and the materiality of textual sources and images.

Egyptologists' notebooks : the golden age of Nile exploration in words, pictures, plans, and letters /
:
"A gorgeous presentation of intimate diaries and journals that captures the excitement of the golden age of Egyptology. For centuries, the ancient ruins of Egypt have provided an endless source of fascination for explorers, antiquarians, archaeologists, and the public. All, from the very earliest travelers, were entranced by the beauty of the landscape and the remains of tombs, temples, and cities consumed by drift sand. Early adventurers were gripped by the urge to capture what they saw in writings, sketches, paintings, and photographs. While it was always the Egyptologists who were in charge, they depended on the assistance of architects, artists, engineers, and photographers. Yet when we read about Flinders Petrie and Norman de Garis Davies, we rarely hear about their wives, Hilda and Nina, or how the work of Amelia Edwards helped to fund their explorations. Only through diaries, letters, and other archival discoveries have we come to realize how important these other partners were. Similarly, the contributions of Egyptians, such as Hassan Effendi Hosni, are only now coming to light. Egyptologists' Notebooks is a visual celebration of Egypt's ancient past, featuring evocative sketches, paintings, and photographs from pioneering explorers' and archaeologists' journals. Reproduced in their original form, they provide intimate, behind-the-scenes access to the archaeological discovery of Egypt."--

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."--

Die rituelle Reinheit in den Tempeln der griechisch-römischen Zeit /
:
"Die rituelle Reinheit ist eines der zentralen Themen im Bereich der Kultpraxis, denn sie schafft den notwendigen Rahmen und die Voraussetzungen dafür, mit dem Göttlichen zu interagieren. Der Zweck und die Durchführung der rituellen Reinigung unterscheidet sich je nachdem, welche(r) Person(enkreis) oder Gegenstand gereinigt werden soll. Texte und Bilder zur rituellen Reinigung im Alten Ägypten existieren über die gesamte Kulturgeschichte hinweg in allen Bereichen, die ein Zusammenspiel mit dem Göttlichen aufweisen. -- Marcel Kühnemund untersucht das Konzept der rituellen Reinheit in den Tempeln der griechisch-römischen Epoche. Im Kosmos des Tempels sind vier Gruppen zu unterscheiden, die am Kult partizipieren und entsprechend kultisch gereinigt werden müssen: der König, die Priester, die im Kult verwendeten Objekte und die Götter selbst. Anhand der bildlichen und textlichen Quellen aus den Tempeln, aber auch von Belegen außerhalb dieser Sphäre, wird die Durchführung der Reinigung und deren Zweck dargelegt. Je nach Gruppe umfasst dieser die Transformation in einen Gott oder die Etablierung und Erhaltung eines rituellen Raumes, der der Wirksamkeit von Ritualen dient. Dabei werden immer wieder Verbindungen zu älterem Textgut hergestellt, die die lange Tradition dieser Riten aufzeigen. Abschließend wird ein Gesamtbild der rituellen Reinheit im Tempel entworfen"--
