This study is devoted to the Neo-Assyrian royal household as it emerges from the available cuneiform sources. It addresses the functions as well as the conditions of life and work of the royal household personnel. It clarifies which types of officials, professionals and other employees were active within or on behalf of the royal household. What were their tasks, and what was their position within the royal household and in relation to the king and his family? What departments were in place, and who were the managers? What was the role of lower-ranking personnel within this system? The study also investigates the social and cultural background of the personnel as well as their professional life, including their financial means, the quantity and type of their remuneration, and their career progression. Envisaged also as reference book, the book provides a prosopographical catalogue of the wide range of personnel discussed. As the personal household of the sovereign and the administrative and political centre of the empire, this study of the royal household opens up the immediate environment of the king and his family, but also to the governmental apparatus of the empire as a whole.

La 4e de couverture indique : "For thousands of years, people have expressed their cultural and religious ideas in pictorial and written form. The academic field of epigraphy is concerned with the very same legacies, which have been written, painted, engraved or chiseled on various materials. The group of sources studied includes a range of visual and textual media, such as stelae and statues, as well as rock faces and buildings. Although epigraphy was considered an auxiliary science in the past, it has now developed into an independent and important scientific discipline with a wide range of research possibilities. The contributions brought together in this volume illuminate the geographical area of present-day Egypt and Sudan, while covering a time frame ranging from early rock paintings and monumental pharaonic inscriptions to tombstones from the Islamic period, and modern graffiti in public spaces. Furthermore, they address a broad spectrum of epigraphic topics, theoretical and methodological approaches, and discuss current research questions as well as future perspectives. The anthology thus contributes to a better understanding of epigraphy in Egypt and its neighbouring regions and stimulates further discussions in this field."

Ce volume hors-série du Corpus des inscriptions de la France médiévale rassemble plus de 80 inscriptions funéraires d'époque carolingienne (milieu du VIIIe - fin du Xe siècle) provenant de l'Ouest de la France actuelle (Anjou, Maine, Touraine, Poitou), région alors partagée entre Aquitaine et Neustrie. Il compte autant de véritables épitaphes (plates tombes ou stèles placées sur les sépultures) que de plaques obituaires, commémorant la mort d'un individu, fixées voire intégrées dans le mur de l'église ou du cloître, et même une " endotaphe ", inscription déposée dans la tombe. Éditées selon les normes actuelles, traduites et abondamment commentées, ces inscriptions sont accompagnées de nombreux dessins et clichés photographiques, le tout précédé d'une importante introduction historique et méthodologique.
