The book’s central proposition is that the prominent feature of the hiero-glyphic script which Egyptologists call “determinatives” makes up an elabo-rate system of classifiers. All items of the lexicon take motivated pictorial classifiers. By this device, the script reflects the map of knowledgeorganization of ancient Egyptian culture. The book aims to reveal the principles and constraints governing the codification of the ancient Egyptian universe in this system. There is, to date, no comprehensive study, either in Egyptology or in cognitive linguistics, of the hieroglyphic classifiers as a structured system. The present work attempts to fill the existing hiatus by bridging the disciplines of Egyptology and cognitive studies, using the tools of the latter to elucidate the former and thus perhaps arrive at new perspectives on both. From the Egyptological angle, the book deals with the ancient Egyptians’ nomenclature for “items in the world” and the relationship between lexicon and the knowledge organization. However, the events occurring in the picture-script render cognitive processes visible to our inspection hundreds of years before they have ripened into the Egyptian language. This “visibility” bears directly on a number of crucial questions in cognitive linguistics and ethnobiology. The book also includes an introduction to the hieroglyphic script.

Durch die Ausgrabungen des Aegyptologischen Seminars der Universitat Basel im Tal der Konige wurden in den vergangenen Jahren uber tausend Ostraka und weitere Artefakte gefunden, die von den Arbeitern, die die Konigsgraber errichteten, in ihren provisorischen Hutten zuruckgelassen worden waren. Eine erste Auswertung dieser Funde fuhrte zu Ergebnissen, die ihre Kontextualisierung im Rahmen der laufenden Deir el-Medine-Forschung als angebracht erschienen liess.

This occasional paper publishes a group of papyri that supplement those included in J.J. Janssen’s comprehensive Late Ramesside Letters and Communications (Hieratic papyri in the British Museum VI, 1991). The papyri in this publication were transferred to the British Museum for specialist care, conservation and storage by the National Trust in the 1950s and 1990s when they were identified among the papers of William John Bankes (1786–1855), antiquarian and Egyptologist. The Bankes Papyri are a particularly exceptional group of manuscripts, since they include previously unknown letters by the best known of Ramesside correspondents – the necropolis scribes Dhutmose and Butehamon – and the missing half of an already published letter, now known to have been written almost certainly by the famous general Payankh. The papyri have been conserved by Bridget Leach of the Museum’s Department of Conservation and Scientific Research, and an account of this process is included here, together with a summary of Bankes’ travels in Egypt by Patricia Usick, honorary archivist in the Department of Ancient Egypt and Sudan, and Bankes’ biographer.
