Production Et Transmission Des Textes Funeraires En Egypte Au Ier Millenaire Av. N. E.

~~94,06€~~ 84,65€ 10% OFF

 This volume gathers twelve contributions from the international colloquium "Funerary Texts in Egypt during the First Millennium BCE: Continuity and Change from the Third Intermediate Period to the Late Period", which took place at the University of Lausanne in September 2021, in partnership with the Institut francais d''archeologie orientale and the University of Basel. The articles presented in this book focus on the funerary texts of the Third Intermediate Period (1069-664 BCE) and the Late Period (664-332 BCE), while making a link with the preceding period-the New Kingdom-and the following one-the Ptolemaic period. The articles are presented diachronically in order to highlight the particularities of each period and to identify the modes of transmission from one period to another. The various media on which these texts are copied (papyrus, tomb walls, coffins) are also taken into account. The book thus provides an overview of the development of funerary texts and their transmission media during these periods.

Documentary Papyri From The Fouad Collection At The Institut Francais D'Archeologie Orientale (P.Fouad Ii 90-100)

by Mohamed Gaber El-Maghrabi

~~30,48€~~ 27,43€ 10% OFF

 This book offers editions of eleven Greek documentary papyri from the Fouad Collection. The bulk of the collection was purchased in 1930 by King Fouad I of Egypt and donated to the Societe royale egyptienne de papyrologie (later known as Societe Fouad I de Papyrologie). The collection was augmented through further purchases or donations in the following years, and has been deposited at the IFAO since 1961. The introduction to this volume provides an outline of the origins and the acquisition history of the collection. In this volume, the edited papyri are a mixture of private and public documents (declarations, petitions, contracts, receipts, etc.) that mirror the everyday life of different strata of the society and the daily operations of the local provincial administration in Roman Egypt. These documents date from the early first century CE to the early third century CE, and originate from the Arsinoite, Oxyrhynchite and Lykopolite nomes. They are chronologically arranged and each one is presented with an introduction, its Greek transcription, a translation and commentary, and images. This book will be of interest to papyrologists and historians of Graeco-Roman Egypt.

Mammisis Of Egypt - Proceedings Of The First International Colloquium, Held In Cairo, Ifao, 27-28 March 2019

~~60,95€~~ 54,86€ 10% OFF

 Birth Houses (Mammisis) are important components of late Egyptian temple complexes but have not been investigated in detail since the fundamental study of Francois Daumas published in 1958. In the meantime, new archaeological findings as well as re-evaluations of theology and piety in Greco-Roman Egypt have considerably expanded our traditional understanding of these extraordinary buildings. Therefore, reassessment of phenomena and expanded research approaches need to be undertaken. This book presents the printed versions of the lectures given by international Egyptologists at the IFAO in Cairo on March 27-28, 2019, as part of the 1st Colloquium on "Mammisis of Egypt". In the publication, criteria and reconsiderations are put up for discussion that can be decisive for the identification and definition of Mammisis. The spectrum of topics ranges from theological basics (including the significant birth cycle) and typical features, through historical development and cultic events, to the architecture of these temple buildings. Special motifs, theoretical and iconographic concepts and finally the persistence of certain rites in modern Egypt are also covered. One chapter introduces current scientific projects and their methods that are dedicated to selected mammisis or chapels (Coptos, Deir el-Medina, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae, Bahariya, Kellis, Jebel Barkal). Numerous illustrations complement the contributions. They contain new material from excavations that is being published for the first time.

Frontieres Et Marges Occidentales De L'Egypte De L'Antiquite Au Moyen Age

~~66,25€~~ 59,63€ 10% OFF

 Was there, in different periods of Egyptian history, a clearly defined political and cultural western border? How was the western limit of Egyptian territory perceived and experienced by the central power and local populations? Keeping these questions in mind, the proceedings of the international conference held in Cairo on 2-3 December 2017 explore the western margins of Egypt along four lines: 1) definition, conception, representation; 2) occupation, control, administration; 3) economy; 4) populations, networks, religion. They allow us to sketch a portrait of a key region of Egypt from Antiquity to the Middle Ages. Once the phase of territorial fixation of the Egyptian state was completed, the low population density in the Western Delta and the absence of a real threat did not encourage the definition and defense of an actual western border. However, the arrival of new Libyan groups at the gates of Egypt during the Ramesside period was a turning point. The emergence of the Saite Dynasty placed this region in a new dynamic-that of border with the Greek world and pioneer front-which prefigured the development of this territory under the Ptolemies. During the Roman period, Egypt was part of an empire that extended much further west and whose decision-making center was outside the country, which changed the status of the western limit. Still, the nomadic incursions into the Great Oasis at the end of the period show that the question of the frontier remained an issue. This issue continued after the Arab conquest when Egypt became again part of a vast empire.

Questionner Le Sphinx - Melanges Offerts A Christiane Zivie-Coche

196,10€ + 10% CARD

 This book presents the scientific contributions of forty-three authors gathered in order to celebrate Christiane Zivie-Coche. Holder of the chair of Egyptian religion at the Ecole pratique des hautes etudes, Section des Sciences religieuses, in Paris, from 1992 to 2015, Christiane Zivie-Coche left her mark on Egyptological studies in this field and trained several generations of Egyptologists. Also active in the field, from Louqsor to Tanis, via the Memphite area, she has published fundamental studies on subjects as varied as Giza in the second and first millennium B.C. or late Theban theologies, to name but a few. Former students, colleagues and friends - sometimes all three - Egyptologists, Hellenists, historians of religions, all wished to pay tribute here to the science of the recipient, and to her generosity, in research as in life. The articles address Christiane Zivie-Coches favorite themes, Egyptian religion, of course, in all its forms and at all times, but also kingship, geography, the history of the Late Period and historiography; the variety of topics covered echoes the breadth of her curiosities.

Les Fruits D'Une Conversion

 " En août 1999, je me suis convertie au catholicisme. Point final pourrait-on penser. La conversion n'est pas une fin mais un départ. Une mise en mouvement étonnante de tout l'être. On en finit pas de se convertir... au Christ. J'avais encore beaucoup de questions et une souffrance aussi, difficile à partager. J'aimais le Christ, mais j'étais divisée, je n'arrivais pas à concilier en moi le Dieu Un de la Bible et la Trinité Sainte de l'Évangile. Je me disais : le Christ est juif, il confesse le Dieu d'Israël, il ne devrait pas y avoir de rupture. En 2005, l'année où j'ai commencé une école d'oraison, il m'a été répondu au-delà de toutes mes espérances. Il n'y a pas de rupture, tout est Un. Une merveilleuse continuité, mieux, un dévoilement. Dans les lettres mêmes de la langue hébraïque. Les mots découpés et lus différemment livrent d'autres jeux de lecture qui lient et relient, d'une manière vertigineuse, les deux Testaments. L'Ancien dans le Nouveau comme la graine dans le fruit, le Nouveau en l'Ancien comme une perle en son écrin."

La France & L'Égypte À L'Époque Des Vice-Rois ; 1805-1882

by André Raymond e Daniel Panzac

33,57€ + 10% CARD

free shipping

 L'EXPÉDITION d'Égypte de Bonaparte, qui débute en 1798, se termine, trois ans plus tard, sur un échec militaire patent. Malgré cette mise en contact agressive, les relations entre la France et l'Égypte s'épanouissent, de 1805 à 1882, sous l'influence des vice-rois que sont Mehemet Ali et ses premiers successeurs. L'Égypte, tout en faisant toujours partie de l'Empire ottoman, dispose désormais, vis-à-vis du sultan, d'une très large autonomie qui facilite l'établissement de liens privilégiés avec la France dans de nombreux domaines. Quatre d'entre eux ont plus particulièrement retenu l'attention des auteurs de ce recueil ; la diplomatie et la politique, l'économie, la formation des élites, tant civiles que militaires, le secteur artistique et archéologique. Ces différentes contributions précisent et éclairent les formes qu'a prises la francomanie en Égypte. Elles révèlent également la véritable égyptomanie, pharaonique et musulmane, qu'a connue la France à la même époque.

Food And Drink In Egypt And Sudan - Selected Studies In Archaeology, Culture, And History

by Mennat-Allah El Dorry

58,30€ + 10% CARD

 The study of historic foodways is as multifaceted and varied as food itself. The changes we see in food habits and choices over history reveal evolving social and political climates and help us envision our ancestors' everyday lives and imagined afterlives. Food certainly played a role in funerary rites; it was offered to the dead, of course, but also shared at the grave among the living family members, symbolically bridging between this world and the next. Choosing the food was embedded in a series of traditions and norms; how it relates to what was actually eaten in associated settlements enables an understanding of its meaning. Feasts, whether for the dead or the living, were laden with political and social meaning. Fasting, although requiring abstention from certain foods, also involves the management-from sourcing and storing to cooking and eating-of the permitted foods, a key concern in contexts such as monasteries where fasting occurred. This collective work demonstrates the diversity of possible approaches to food. It presents the current state of research on the foodways of Egypt and Sudan and highlights the importance of further interdisciplinary collaboration for a "big picture" approach. It brings together 16 articles covering archaeology (in the broadest sense), theory, anthropology, language, ethnography, and architecture to illustrate food traditions and history in Egypt and Sudan from as early as the 4th millennium BC to the 20th century.

Graffiti And Rock Inscriptions From Ancient Egypt - A Companion To Secondary Epigraphy

94,08€ + 10% CARD

 Graffiti, dipinti, rock-inscriptions and other additions to walls and rocks are integral to the landscape and writing practices of ancient Egypt. This book focuses on the margins of traditional ancient Egyptian epigraphic corpora. It aims to provide an all-encompassing view of graffiti practices and corpora in ancient Egypt, ranging from predynastic rock art in the Eastern Desert, to hieratic inscriptions in Middle Egyptian tombs, and demotic signatures in Karnak temple. A range of specialists present primary data from three different environments-deserts, tombs, and temples-following common lines of inquiry that aim to look beyond their textual or iconographic content and address graffiti's agency more closely. Accordingly, this book investigates the interplay between secondary inscriptions and images, the space in which they were embedded, and the audiences for whom they were intended. Despite the diversity inherent in the nature of graffiti, common paths and shared threads of discussion emerge once these inscriptions are considered as material objects and socio-cultural practices.

Stone Canvas - Towards A Better Integration Of 'Rock Art' And 'Graffiti' Studies In Egypt And Sudan

56,98€ + 10% CARD

 This book presents proceedings of the conference devoted to rock art and graffiti studies in Egypt and Sudan that took place in Cairo from 10th to 12th November, 2019. The thematic spectrum of the contributions is very wide in terms of both their geographical and their chronological range, encompassing figural and textual sources dating from the Late Palaeolithic through the Predynastic, Dynastic, and Graeco-Roman periods, up to Christian and Islamic times. Many of the papers combine evidence from various archaeological domains and also attempt to better integrate graffiti and rock art materials in search of a common ground for research. Thus, the volume provides a good overview of the current state of investigations in these two fields of study in Egypt and Nubia.
