Orientalia Lovaniensia analecta 257
Content:
Ancient Egyptian funerary literature encompasses a complex, dynamic, and open group of texts and images selected to be deposited in mortuary settings. Despite this shared final purpose, they derive from a variety of spheres of origin (ritual, apotropaic, medical, legal) and can be concurrently used in different contexts. They further exhibit a semantic density and were transmitted across the centuries, and subjected to modifications as they were incorporated into new social, religious, or functional environments. With a wide chronological spectrum of topics addressed, the manifold approaches collected here aim to challenge traditional conceptions and procedures of analysis and to introduce new sets of ideas
Note:
The origin of the present compendium of contributions goes back to a meeting organised in 2010 at the University of Basel entitled "Ancient Egyptian Funerary Literature. Trackling the Complexity of Texts". -- Seite XV
