Book Description
Das altagyptische Totenbuch mit seinen etwa 200 Spruchen und dazugehorigen Illustrationen in immer neuen Zusammenstellungen auf verschiedenen Materialien (Papyri, Mumienbinden, Leichentucher, Sarge, Grabwande u.a.) stellt eine der bedeutendsten Quellen zur religiosen Literatur und Ikonographie des Alten Agypten dar. Im September 2005 richtete das Bonner Totenbuch-Projekt eine interdisziplinare Konferenz aus, deren Beitrage in diesem Band zusammengestellt sind. Die 27 oft reich bebilderten Aufsatze umfassen eine Vielfalt von Themen: Publikationen bislang unbekannter Handschriften auf den unterschiedlichsten Texttragern, Untersuchungen einzelner Texte oder Darstellungen aus dem Totenbuch, das Totenbuch als Quelle zu ausgewahlten religionswissenschaftlichen Themen, Beginn und Ende der Totenbuch-Uberlieferung und allgemeine Beobachtungen zum Totenbuch (zur Bezeichnung des Verstorbenen als Osiris, zur Palaographie, zur Anordnung der Vignetten, zu Totenbuch- Vignetten auf den Sargen der Dritten Zwischenzeit, zu Amulettpapyri). Daruber hinaus prasentieren funf Restaurierungswissenschaftler den aktuellen Forschungsstand zu sachgemasser Konservierung und Aufbewahrung von Papyri, zur Lesbarmachung stark nachgedunkelter Schrift, zu verwendeten Farben und moglichen Falttechniken.

The Oxford Handbook of the Egyptian Book of the Dead
Author: Rita Lucarelli
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190210001
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 617
Book Description
"Among the broad spectrum of ancient Egyptian religious literature, the Book of the Dead is the most representative of the mortuary religion and of the magical and ritual practices belonging to it. Moreover, its rich corpus of texts and images provides unique information on the scribal practices, mortuary traditions, myths, and priestly rituals in ancient Egypt from the 2nd Millennium BCE to the Roman Period. "Book of the Dead" is the conventional name given by Egyptologists to a collection of magical compositions called in ancient Egyptian "Book for coming forth by day". This title refers to the main wish of the deceased, who wished to be able to leave his tomb and move freely between this world and the next. Each Book of the Dead manuscript is unique, although we know of the existence of workshops where the papyri were bought and therefore a few common stylistic features can be recognized according to different regional traditions of writing and manufacture. The spells also present many and various parallels with other magical and ritual texts attested in temples, on magical objects, and amulets, showing that the mortuary literature had in fact a strong link with the daily religious life and beliefs of the ancient Egyptians. This Handbook is the first guide to all the aspects and topics of research both in relation to the Book of the Dead itself and to broader research on ancient Egyptian religion and magic"--

Death in the Iron Age II and in First Isaiah
Author: Christopher B. Hays
Publisher: Mohr Siebeck
ISBN: 9783161507854
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 476
Book Description
Death is one of the major themes of 'First Isaiah, ' although it has not generally been recognized as such. Images of death are repeatedly used by the prophet and his earliest tradents.The book begins by concisely summarizing what is known about death in the Ancient Near East during the Iron Age II, covering beliefs and practices in Mesopotamia, Egypt, Syria-Palestine, and Judah/Israel. Incorporating both textual and archeological data, Christopher B. Hays surveys and analyzes existing scholarly literature on these topics from multiple fields.Focusing on the text's meaning for its producers and its initial audiences, he describes the ways in which the 'rhetoric of death' functioned in its historical context and offers fresh interpretations of more than a dozen passages in Isa 5-38. He shows how they employ the imagery of death that was part of their cultural contexts, and also identifies ways in which they break new creative ground.This holistic approach to questions that have attracted much scholarly attention in recent decades produces new insights not only for the interpretation of specific biblical passages, but also for the formation of the book of Isaiah and for the history of ancient Near Eastern religions
