The naos of Amasis : a monument for the reawakening of Osiris /
:
The naos AM 107 of the Museum of Antiquities of Leiden was built by king Amasis in the VIth century BC, a period that saw an intense production of monolithic shrines. Despite its not impressive dimensions, however, the naos of Leiden stands out for its originality. What is particularly interesting about this monument is that its distinctiveness is strictly connected to the nature of its recipient. Amasis dedicated the naos to Osiris Hemag, one of the most important and enigmatic Osirian forms of the first millennium BC. Osiris Hemag represents Osiris in a crucial moment of his existence, his reawakening. It was precisely this aspect of the god that strongly influenced both the shape and the decoration of the naos, creating a unique effect: indeed, this is the only Egyptian naos showing on his surfaces groups of guardian-deities who had the task to protect the body of Osiris and to assist him in his rebirth and rejuvenation. This naos is not only a shrine housing a statue of Osiris Hemag, but it is also a monument conveying a new definition of the god and ideas concerning his rebirth.

Loaves, beds, plants and Osiris : considerations about the emergence of the cult of Osiris /
:
The emergence of the cult of Osiris is, in most cases, dated to the end of the 5th dynasty, the period in which the name of Osiris appears in writing, and it is commonly held that before this period not a trace of the cult can be discerned. This study is intended to investigate whether this emergence was really so sudden, or if there is evidence to suggest this appearance was preceded by a period of development of the theology and mythology of the cult. One of the most important aspects of the mythology of the cult is the rebirth of Osiris. In the theology of the cult this rebirth was projected on mortal men, and led to the postulation that every human being, whether royal or non-royal, had the possibility to attain eternal life after death. What made this cult even more attractive is that this eternal life was not confined to the tomb, as it used to be for non-royalty. The study is concerned with the rebirth possibilities of non-royal persons and aims to determine the chronological development of the rebirth connotations of the various decoration themes that were used in the chapel of Old Kingdom tombs. The decoration themes that are the subject of the determinations are the group of bed-scenes consisting of the bed-making scene and the marital bed-scene, the development in form and length of the bread loaves on the offering table, the different aspects of the scenes in which the "lotus" flower is depicted, and the marsh scenes.

Der Schutz des Osiris : eine Studie zu den apotropäischen Gottheiten auf den Kairener Sarkophagen des Djedher (CG 29304) und Anchhapi (CG 29303) /
:
"Hunderte von Gottheiten schmucken die Wannen und Deckel ausgewahlter Sarkophage und Sarge aus der 30. Dynastie und der Ptolemaerzeit, die hauptsachlich in Saqqara gefunden wurden. Carolina Teotino teilt diese Gotter in verschiedene Gruppen auf, die den Verstorbenen in Form kurzer Reden ansprechen. Zwei beinahe parallele Objekte, die Sarkophage des Djedher und des Anchhapi, dienen als Ausgangspunkt dieser Studie und werden mit weiteren teilweise unveroffentlichten Quellen verglichen. Adressiert werden in erster Linie Fragen zum Ursprung und zur Funktion dieser Dekoration sowie zur Herkunft und zu den Amtern der Inhaber dieser Sarkophage. Ein Fokus liegt dabei auf dem Diskurs zwischen Toten- und Tempelkult und der Form der Dekoration als monumentale Inszenierung der Episoden und Riten in der Balsamierungshalle. Die Gottheiten bieten dem verstorbenen Osiris Schutz und Beistand in Krisensituationen, sei es wahrend der Mumifizierung, der stundlichen Schutzwache, der Bestattung, der Auferstehung oder der Wiedergeburt. Ihre Reden schutzen vor moglichen Gefahren und formulieren gleichzeitig das Ziel, im Jenseits weiterzuleben. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass einige dieser Gotterkreise sich bereits in das Mittlere Reich zuruckverfolgen lassen, andere treten erst in den Raumen fur den Osiris-Kult in den griechisch-romischen Tempeln auf. Die Reden sind teilweise kompiliert als Exzerpte aus bekannten osirianischen Kompositionen aus Tempel- und Totenkontext"--
