Abstract

"As Ruler of the Two Lands, Egypt's pharaoh wore the double pschent crown: the red crown of Lower Egypt, in the north, surrounding the white crown of Upper Egypt, in the south. Personified in the ruler, this union remained a central ideal throughout Egyptian history. The unity of Upper and Lower Egypt, also symbolized in the knot tied between papyrus and reed, was long seen as key to Egypt's success. (Fig. 1.1.1) In practice, however, the country was diverse in many ways, with an ongoing struggle between the central ideologies of unity and uniformity and the realities on the ground. Egypt was a self-consciously distinctive culture that also constantly received and absorbed immigrants from many countries into its society"--

Abstract

This volume covers the transition period stretching from the reign of Justinian I to the end of the 8th cent., focusing on the experience of individuals who lived through the last decades of Byzantine rule in Egypt before the arrival of the new Arab rulers. The contributions drawing from the wealth of sources we have for Egypt, explore phenomena of stability and disruption during the transition from the classical to the postclassical world.

Abstract

Collections of scenes and texts designated variously as the "Book of the Earth," "Creation of the Solar Disc," and "Book of Aker" were inscribed on the walls of royal sarcophagus chambers throughout Egypt's Ramessid period (Dynasties 19-20). This material illustrated discrete episodes from the nocturnal voyage of the sun god, which functioned as a model for the resurrection of the deceased king. These earliest "Books of the Earth" employed mostly ad hoc arrangements of scenes, united by shared elements of iconography, an overarching, bipartite symmetry of composition, and their frequent pairing with representations of the double sky overhead. From the Twenty-First Dynasty and later, selections of programmatic tableaux were adapted for use in private mortuary contexts, often in conjunction with innovative or previously unattested annotations. The present study collects and analyzes all currently known Book of the Earth material, including discussions of iconography, grammar, orthography, and architectural setting.

Abstract

Depuis 2006, Balnéorient mène une enquête sur le bain collectif en Méditerranée orientale, de l'Antiquité (haute époque hellénistique) à l'époque contemporaine. Ce programme fédératif s'était donné pour but d'étudier les divers aspects d'une pratique sociale dans une région qui n'avait jamais encore été prise comme épicentre d'une réflexion menée à la fois sur le temps long et dans un cadre géographique large.0L'ouvrage présent réunit 63 articles, études de cas et synthèses, accompagnés d'une bibliographie commune. Ils examinent le phénomène balnéaire à l'échelle du Proche-Orient et permettent d'en proposer une vision d'ensemble, ne serait-ce que pour en souligner la complexité et mettre en lumière l'extrême richesse du patrimoine thermal de cette région
