Documentary texts — documents of daily life like letters, contracts, accounts etc. — are one of the quantitatively most underrepresented text corpora in grammars of Middle Egyptian. Although publications dealing with special questions rely quite often on documentary texts these studies have in most cases a limited scope and they do not address observed phenomena as characteristics of documentary texts. The work presented here wants to close these gaps pursuing three goals: first, the collection and documentation of all grammatical and scribal phenomena; second, the identification of the characteristic features of the lowest text register "documentary texts" including both a synchronic comparison with the "Sprachstufe" Middle Egyptian as drawn in grammars and a general linguistic dating within the language development. Third, this work is designed to serve as a grammatical repertory and collection of examples for future research in linguistics of Middle Egyptian.The volume consists of the following main parts: (1) Introduction and sources (§ 1-13); (2) Scribal conventions and developments (§ 14-28); (3) Word morphology and syntax (§ 29-338); (4) Clause syntax and additions (negations, tense and mood system, direct and reported speech) (§ 339-404); (5) A large appendix giving an overview over the epistolary formulae of the Middle Kingdom.

Hieroglyphic Inscriptions with historical-biographical content from the 18th dynasty are found continuously until the reign of Amenhotep III and thereafter frequently in the language of the Middle Kingdom, the "Classical Middle Egyptian". However, several grammatical surveys have brought forth noticeable deviations from this ideal, often motivated by the language progress. Further¬more, a recent larger-scale study recording not only the qualitative evidence, but also the quantitative side, did not exist.This contribution represents a pilot study on a sub-corpus of the inscriptions in question, which will serve as an initial reference study for future research on these texts. The corpus selected is the royal stelae up to and including Amenhotep III. The study is conducted on a set of grammatical key areas - verbal system, pronominal system, functional words, and in addition, outlines of the nouns, adjectives, numerals, phonology and lexicon. To conclude this study, an individual textual analysis with greater focus on parameters such as diachrony, register, genre and discourse type is added, as contrast to the general evidence.

Der Band versammelt rund 70 Beiträge zu aktuellen ägyptologischen Forschungen und Fragestellungen; charakteristisch für diese ist, dass sie nur in einem engen Austausch von archäologischen Befunden und philologischen Quellen gewinnbringend entwickelt und weitergedacht werden können. Dabei werden Beispiele aus nahezu allen Epochen der ägyptischen Geschichte sowie zahlreichen Regionen des Landes am Nil berücksichtigt.
