Im Verlauf der deutsch-ägyptischen archäologischen und epigraphischen Feldarbeiten in Assiut/Mittelägypten wurden in den Jahren 2012-2014 im Grab des Regionalgouverneurs Djefai-Hapi I. (ca. 1900 v. Chr.) Deckenmalereien freigelegt, welche in ihrer Motivwahl, ihrem Arrangement und in ihrer Monumentalität neue Maßstäbe ägyptischen Designs zur Zeit des Mittleren Reiches setzten. Infolge starker Verschmutzungen blieben die Malereien in der modernen Forschung nahezu unbeachtet. In Zusammenarbeit mit ägyptischen Restauratoren erfolgte eine partielle Reinigung der Malereien. Vorliegender Band stellt die Deckenmalereien ausführlich vor und behandelt die Bedeutung und den Transfer einzelner Motive wie des gesamten Deckenmusters von Ägypten und dem ägäischen Raum während des Mittleren Reiches über die ägyptische Spätzeit bis in das London des 19. Jahrhunderts. Eine Analyse der verwendeten Farbpigmente, ein Index der Personennamen sowie zahlreiche Farbtafeln und Computerrekonstruktionen schließen den Band ab

The Egyptians made use of texts and art forms dating back to sometimes more than 1,000 years. Why did they do this, and how? This book is about the great value of traditions in Ancient Egypt. A case in point is the Egyptian settlement of Siut, where, during the First Intermediate Period and Middle Kingdom texts were recorded in tombs and on funerary equipment of high officials: mortuary liturgies, biographies, lists of decans, etcetera. Surprisingly, many hundreds, sometimes even more than a thousand years later these same texts reappear in other regions of Egypt, especially Thebes. Applying methods of a long tradition of textual criticism, and of the so-called 'Verfahren der Kennwertbestimmung' (a method which makes it possible to capture in numbers the degrees of 'family relationship' between texts), the author solves the questions of (1) the ways and the working of the actual transmission system, and (2) the underlying reasons for copying and the significance of the Siutian tradition for the 'kulturelles Gedächtnis'.
