Abstract

The historiography of the Early Mamluk Circassian period is prolific but has not yet received proper scholarly attention. For the first time, this study examines in a comprehensive manner the key sources for the reign of al-Zāhir Barqūq (784-91, 792-801/1382-9, 1390-9) in terms of their originality and importance. By means of a systematic analysis of the annals of three different years, it provides a critical evaluation of published and manuscript primary sources, identifies the nature of the interdependence amongst authors, and sheds new light on the craft of historical writing. This book fills a critical gap in the scholarship on Mamluk historiography. The author not only assesses the production of well-known historians (Ibn Khaldūn, Ibn al-Furāt, al-Maqrīzī, Ibn Taghrībirdī, et cetera), but also studies pivotal authors (Ibn Duqmâq, Ibn Hijjī, et cetera) whose works has been up until now either ignored or unknown.

Abstract

The Ramessid period in Egypt (ca. 1290–1075 B.C.E.) corresponds to the Late Bronze Age, a time of great change both in Egypt and the Near East. This period of empire, dominated by the figure of Ramesses II, witnessed crucial developments in art, language, and religious display. Biographical Texts from Ramessid Egypt offers insights into these cultural transformations through the voices of forty-five priests, artists, civil officials, and military men who served under the kings of the Nineteenth and Twentieth Dynasties. Sixty-five biographical texts, which were inscribed in tombs, on statues and stelae in temples, and exceptionally on temple walls, give details of their careers and character. The metrically arranged translations are introduced by descriptions of the texts’ monumental contexts and, where possible, summaries of the careers of their owners. The volume provides an introduction to the historical background of the Ramessid period, drawing together key themes and interpretive issues raised by the texts and their contexts. These include the representation of relationships to deities and the king, the thematization of the priestly life, and implications of changes in the texts’ media, including new decorative programs of nonroyal tombs. This integration of text with context sheds light on the meaning of biographical writing in ancient Egypt as a whole.

Abstract

Die Analyse ägyptischer Tempel konzentriert sich zumeist auf Wandreliefs, während die Bedeutung und der Gebrauch der dekorierten (und undekorierten) Räume oft unklar bleiben. Die Beiträge in diesem 6. Tempeltagungsband, die auf eine 2002 in Leiden gehaltene Konferenz zurückgehen, beziehen sich auf verschiedene Weise auf die Funktion altägyptischer Tempelräume, die von den Stiftern und Baumeisternbeabsichtigte Funktion und den tatsächlichen Gebrauch im Laufe der Zeit. Angaben zur Raumfunktion liefern uns zum Einen die Wandreliefs und Inschriften; zum Andern erweitern neue Ausgrabungen unsere Kenntnisse über die verschiedenen Aktivitäten im Tempelbereich. Auch Texte auf Papyri und Objekte geben wichtige Hinweise über die Funktion der heiligen Räume. Die vorgestellten Tempel, Szenen und Texte gehören zu verschiedenen Abschnitten der pharaonischen, ptolemäischen, römischen und meroitischen Perioden. Die insgesamt 17 Beiträge sind reich illustriert; die dreisprachigen Indizes enthalten Stichwörter, Götter- und Königsnamen, Toponyme, Museumsnummern und ägyptische Wörter.
