This volume is dedicated to the examination of a small corpus of bronze U-shaped burial receptacles from ancient Mesopotamia and Elam, dubbed 'bathtub' coffins for their characteristic apsidal shape, reminiscent of a style of 19th and early 20th century bathtub.

In his latest book, Carlos Gracia Zamacona presents a corpus-based comprehensive analysis of the ancient Egyptian Coffin Texts (ca. 2000-1600 BCE), texts of enormous editorial, cultural, historical social, linguistic, anthropological, and religiious complexity. Rather than focusing on highly speculative hypothetical reconstructions of the texts or interpretations of their religious or anthropological contents, Gracia Zamacona puts textual witnesses at the center of the study. By examining how and why the coffins were made and the information they give us about the mortuary culture of ancient Egypt, Gracia Zamacona shows that the Coffin Texts were a repository rather than a canon. His study offers new insight into the texts, revealing their performative and highly personalized practical context. "En su último libro, Carlos Gracia Zamacona presenta un análisis exhaustivo basado en el corpos de los Textos de los Ataúdes del antiguo Egipto (hacia 2000-1600 ane), textos de una enorme complejidad editorial, cultural, histórica, social, lingüística, antropológica y religiosa. En lugar de centrarse en reconstrucciones hipotéticas altamente especulativas de los textos o interpretaciones de sus contenidos religiosos o antropológicos, el autor sitúa los testigos en el centro del estudio. Al examinar cómo y por qué se hicieron los ataúdes y la información que nos brindan sobre la cultura mortuoria del antiguo Egipto, el autor muestra que los Textos de los Ataúdes eran un repositorio más que un canon. Su estudio ofrece una nueva visión de los textos, revelando su contexto práctico performativo y altamente personalizado."--
