This PhD thesis from FU Berlin (in German; with a preface by Jan Assmann and an English summary) provides the first complete edition of "The Offering Ritual of the Egyptian New Kingdom", formerly known as "Ritual for Amenhotep I". The ritual's liturgy covers the daily offering of food to Amun-Re in Karnak and comprises 51 spells for the daily cult and 17 additional spells for certain religious festivals. Part I contains a full synopsis of the liturgical texts in hieroglyphic transcription, based on a new reconstruction of the two separate Papyri Cairo CGC 58030 and Turin CGT 54041, Papyrus Chester Beatty IX, the texts of respective scene sequences in the temples of Karnak, Abydos and Medinet Habu, as well as ca 400 other textual sources from all periods of Egypt's religious history. Part II consists of a full translation, commentary and critical apparatus of the Egyptian texts, together with an in-depth analysis of the ritual, covering its theological, historical and practical aspects, and placing it into the context of other rituals and religious structures of Ancient Egyptian religion. In that sense, the book does not only fill a long-due desideratum in Egyptology but also provides new insights relevant for audiences in the fields of theology and history of religions.

"This work addresses the question of the Egyptian Hegemony during the 13th century BCE: its nature and its cultural processes, and the analysis of the Egyptian-style pottery in three Canaanite City-States is used to provide the proofs of the Egyptian presence there. The author has chosen the archaeological sites of Hazor, Megiddo and Lachish for a case study. Situated in three different regions of Southern Canaan, these three cities are known to be powerful and rich during the 13th century BCE. The Egyptian pottery of these sites has been identified and classified in a typology with numerous parallels to the Egyptian contemporaneous sites. A fabric analysis has been made from description of a fresh break section taken from each sample studied and, in a few cases completed by a petrographic analysis. All the data are gathered in an electronic database and can be consulted for further studies about this corpus. From the interpretation of the corpus, the author presents a spatial analysis of the Egyptian-Style pottery for each identified building in each site in order to shed light on an Egyptian presence at these cities and to qualify this presence."--Publisher's web site.
