12. Ägyptologische Tempeltagung : Synergie und Divergenz : zum Zusammenwirken von Bild und Text in ägyptischen Tempeln, Würzburg, 2020 /
:
"Die Einheit von Bild und Text wird in der neueren Forschung als "Grosshieroglyphe" bezeichnet, um diese Einheit von der modernen Vorstellung des "Bildes" abzugrenzen. Der Begriff impliziert, dass man die agyptischen Ritualszenen lesen und deuten kann, sobald man ihnen mit dem notwendigen Wissen begegnet. Bild und Text sind auf den Wanden agyptischer Tempel, und nicht nur dort, inhaltlich eng miteinander verbunden. Sie nehmen Rucksicht auf die Architektur, auf Rituale, auf die Topographie u.a.m. Diese Wechselbeziehung war Thema der 12. Agyptischen Tempeltagung, die der Corona-Pandemie wegen abgesagt werden musste, deren geplante Vortrage jedoch nun in diesem Band publiziert werden. In den zwolf Beitragen (deutsch, englisch, franzosisch) wird untersucht, inwieweit Bild und Text in agyptischen Tempeln aufeinander Rucksicht nahmen, welche Fehler beim Anbringen an Tempelwanden entstanden und wie man sie ggf. korrigierte. Wie wurde in den Darstellungen reagiert, wenn man Besonderheiten in den Texten beachten musste und umgekehrt? Solche Besonderheiten ergaben sich aus der Rucksichtnahme auf die Architektur, auf Neuentwicklungen und Traditionen. Angesprochen werden Beziehungen zwischen den Tempeln gemeinsamer Rituale, die Ubernahme von Texten und Bildern und von Neuerungen bei der Darstellung des Kultgeschehens. Die Beitrage werfen teils alte Fragen neu auf, etwa die Frage nach der Darstellung des realen, also dreidimensionalen Raums im Flachbild oder nach der beabsichtigten Vieldeutigkeit der Bilder, nach Konnotationen in Texten durch Auswahlen oder Anpassen von Hieroglyphen an die Darstellungen. Es wird auch thematisiert, wer die Texte und Darstellungen in den Raumlichkeiten der Tempel sehen und lesen konnte und wie z.B. Texte und Darstellungen der Ritualszenen auf die architektonischen Gegebenheiten eines Tempels, etwa Platzmangel durch Treppen und Turen, reagierten"--

Offerings to the discerning eye : an Egyptological medley in honor of Jack A. Josephson /
:
Egyptologist Jack A. Josephson, a writer and researcher in the tradition of the "gentleman scholar," has achieved broad recognition as an authority in Egyptian art history. His lucid investigative analyses have probed and redefined the limits of inquiry, expanded research parameters, and broadened perspectives, emphasizing the undeniable contributions of art history in an intra-disciplinary framework. This volume of collected essays is dedicated to Josephson by distinguished friends and colleagues, a select roster including eminent, established scholars in the field of Egyptology and rising stars of the younger generation. Josephson views Egyptian art history as a critical but neglected area of study, and is a strong proponent of its reinstatement in the academic curriculum as an essential component in the formation of new cadres. The quality of the articles in this Egyptological medley is a tribute to the honoree and an affirmation of the esteem of his peers, while the range of subjects and variety of themes addressed reflect the degree to which he has, in his own scholarship, undertaken to implement his ideal.

Ancient Egypt transformed : the Middle Kingdom /
:
The Middle Kingdom (ca. 2030-1700 B.C.), the second great era of ancient Egyptian culture, was a transformational period during which the artistic conventions, cultural principles, religious beliefs, and political systems formed during earlier dynasties were developed and reimagined. This comprehensive volume presents a detailed picture of the art and culture of the Middle Kingdom, arguably the least known of Egypt's three kingdoms yet a time of remarkable prosperity and unprecedented change. International specialists present new insights into how Middle Kingdom artists refined existing forms and iconography to make strikingly original architecture, statuary, tomb and temple relief decoration, and stele. Thematic sections explore art produced for different strata of Egyptian society, including the pharaoh, royal women, the elite, and the family, while other chapters provide insight into Egypt's expanding relations with foreign lands and the themes of Middle Kingdom literature. More than 250 objects from major collections around the world are sumptuously illustrated, many with new photography undertaken specifically for this catalogue.

Mystery and secrecy in the Nag Hammadi collection and other ancient literature : ideas and practices : studies for Einar Thomassen at sixty /
:
Mystery and secrecy were central concepts in the ritual, rhetoric, and sociological stratification of antique Mediterranean religions. That the ultimate nature and workings of the divine were secret, and either could not or should not be revealed except as a mystery for the initiated, was widely accepted among Pagans, Jews, and then Christians, both Gnostic and otherwise. The similarities and differences in the language of mystery and secrecy across religious and cultural borders are thus crucial for understanding this important period of the history of religions. The present anthology aims to present and analyze a wide selection of sources elucidating this theme, reflecting the correspondingly wide scholarly interests of Professor Einar Thomassen in honor of his 60th birthday.

From microcosm to macrocosm : individual households and cities in ancient egypt and nubia /
:
As reflected in the title "From Microcosm to Macrocosm : Individual households and cities in Ancient Egypt and Nubia", both a micro-approach introducing microhistories of individual sites according to recent archaeological fieldwork incorporating interdisciplinary methods as well as general patterns and regional developments in Northeast Africa are discussed. This combination of research questions on the micro-level with the macro-level provides new Information about cities and households in Ancient Egypt and Nubia and makes the book unique. Architectural studies as well as analyses of material culture and the new application of microarchaeology, here especially of micromorphology and archaeometric applications, are presented as case studies from sites primarily dating to the New Kingdom (Second Millennium BC).
The rich potential of well-preserved but still not completely explored sites in modern Sudan, especially as direct comparison for already excavated sites located in Egypt, is in particular emphasised in the book. Settlement archaeology in Egypt and Nubia has recently moved away from a strong textual approach and generalised studies to a more site-specific approach and household studies. This new bottom-up approach applied by current fieldwork projects is demonstrated in the book. The volume is intended for all specialists at settlements sites in Northeast Africa, for students of Egyptology and Nubian Studies, but it will be of interest to anyone working in the field of settlement archaeology.

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.

Ancient Egyptian statues : their many lives and deaths /
:
"Why do ancient Egyptian statues so often have their noses, hands, or genitals broken? Although Late Antiquity appears to have been one of the major moments of large-scale vandalism against pagan monuments, various contexts bear witness to several phases of reuse, modification, or mutilation of statues throughout and after the pharaonic period. Reasons for this range from a desire to erase the memory of specific rulers or individuals for ideological reasons to personal vengeance, war, tomb plundering, and the avoidance of a curse; or simply the reuse of material for construction or the need to ritually "deactivate" and bury old statues, without the added motive of explicit hostility toward the subject in question. Drawing on the latest scholarship and over 100 carefully selected illustrations, Ancient Egyptian Statues proceeds from a general discussion of the production and meaning of sculptures, and the mechanisms of their destruction, to review the role of ancient statuary in Egyptian history and belief. It then moves on to explore the various means of damage and their significance, and the role of restoration and reuse. Art historian Simon Connor offers an innovative and lucidly written reflection on beliefs and practices relating to statuary, and images more broadly, in ancient Egypt, showing how statues were regarded as the active manifestations of the entities they represented, and the ways in which they could endure many lives before being finally buried or forgotten."--
