"Eine unvollständig erhaltene ägyptische Kalksteinstele, die sich heute im Besitz des Badischen Landesmuseums Karlsruhe befindet und wohl in die 19.-22. Dynastie datiert, zeigt ein Dekorations- und Beschriftungsprogramm, das sich gegen gefährliche Tiere wendet. Insbesondere gibt es Rezitationssprüche gegen Krokodile und Schlangen, die in der Rolle der Götterfeinde Maga und Apopis stilisiert werden. Der Spruch gegen Apopis ist auch aus mehreren anderen Quellen bekannt, die von der 20. Dynastie bis ins späte 4. Jahrhundert v. Chr. datieren, wobei er in unterschiedlichen Situierungen auf verschiedenartigen Textträgern unterschiedlich ausführlich überliefert wird. Die vorliegende Publikation diskutiert das Objekt in seiner Materialität, rekonstruiert seine antike und moderne Biographie und bietet eine Übersetzung der Sprüche mit ausführlichem Kommentar. Photographische und zeichnerische Dokumentation sowie Indizes runden den Band ab."

In this study, Penelope Wilson explores the cultural significance of hieroglyphic script with an emphasis on previously neglected areas such as crptography, the continuing decipherment into modern times, and examines the powerful fascination hieroglyphs still hold for us today.

Writing is not the only notation system used in literate societies. Some visual communication systems are very similar to writing, but work differently. Identity marks are typical examples of such systems, and this book presents a particularly well-documented marking system used in Pharaonic Egypt as an exemplary case. From Single Sign to Pseudo-Script is the first book to fully discuss the nature and development of an ancient marking system, its historical background, and the fascinating story of its decipherment. Chapters on similar systems in other cultures and on semiotic theory help to distinguish between unique and universal features. Written by Egyptologist Ben Haring, the book addresses scholars interested in marking systems, writing, literacy, and the semiotics of visual communication.

A contemporary of Descartes and Newton, Athanasius Kircher, S. J. (1601/2-80), was one of Europe's most inventive and versatile scholars in the baroque era. He published more than thirty works in fields as diverse as astronomy, magnetism, cryptology, numerology, geology, and music. But Kircher is most famous-or infamous-for his quixotic attempt to decipher the Egyptian hieroglyphs and reconstruct the ancient traditions they encoded. In 1655, after more than two decades of toil, Kircher published his solution to the hieroglyphs, Oedipus Aegyptiacus, a work that has been called "one of the most learned monstrosities of all times." Here Daniel Stolzenberg presents a new interpretation of Kircher's hieroglyphic studies, placing them in the context of seventeenth-century scholarship on paganism and Oriental languages. Situating Kircher in the social world of baroque Rome, with its scholars, artists, patrons, and censors, Stolzenberg shows how Kircher's study of ancient paganism depended on the circulation of texts, artifacts, and people between Christian and Islamic civilizations. Along with other participants in the rise of Oriental studies, Kircher aimed to revolutionize the study of the past by mastering Near Eastern languages and recovering ancient manuscripts hidden away in the legendary libraries of Cairo and Damascus. The spectacular flaws of his scholarship have fostered an image of Kircher as an eccentric anachronism, a throwback to the Renaissance hermetic tradition. Stolzenberg argues against this view, showing how Kircher embodied essential tensions of a pivotal phase in European intellectual history, when pre-Enlightenment scholars pioneered modern empirical methods of studying the past while still working within traditional frameworks, such as biblical history and beliefs about magic and esoteric wisdom.
