Les grandes capitales égyptiennes, Thèbes, Memphis, Perramsès (le Pi-Ramsès de la Bible) ont marqué les descriptions des géographes grecs, qui en ont assuré la pérennité dans la mémoire culturelle occidentale. Mais la littérature égyptienne ancienne avait déjà pris la cité pour objet, au point de produire un genre littéraire propre au Nouvel Empire, l'Éloge de la ville. Ces poèmes adressés à Dieu ou à Pharaon louent une ville que l'on regrette de quitter ou que l'on s'émerveille de découvrir. Oeuvres de piété personnelle, eulogies royales ou amusements de lettrés, ces textes révèlent un lien particulier de l'Égyptien à sa "ville" et nous offrent un pan entier de la culture égyptienne. Nous donnons l'intégralité de ces textes dans une édition philologique et une traduction littéraire. Le commentaire analyse la structure interne du genre et ses qualités stylisitiques. L'étude des représentations contextualise ces oeuvres dans une perspective idéologique et historique. Le tableau de la ville égyptienne en ressort comme la réalisation royale du plan divin, tout autant que comme le reflet du cosmos ou une métaphore de l'organisation sociale. Sur le plan de l'urbanisme, certaines métropoles s'affirment dans une association historique entre la ville-temple et la capitale administrative.

Ancient Egyptian cities and towns have until recently been one of the least-studied and least-published aspects of this great ancient civilization. Now new research and excavation are transforming our knowledge. The Complete Cities of Ancient Egypt is the first book to bring these latest discoveries to a wide general and scholarly audience, and to provide a comprehensive overview of what we know about ancient settlement during the dynastic period. Divided in two halves, the book opens with an account of the development of urban settlement in Egypt, describing the pattern of urban life, from food production, government, crime and health to schooling, leisure, ancient tourism, and the interaction of the living community with the dead. The second half of the book takes the reader on a trip down the Nile from Aswan to the Delta, giving a comprehensive account of all cities and towns with details for each of their discovery, excavation and important finds, supported by maps and plans as well as recent photographs. This book is sure to appeal to all those concerned with urban design and history, as well as tourists, students and Egyptophiles.

"This book provides the first systematic and comprehensive discussion of the intra-urban distribution of high-status goods, and their production or role as a marker of the nature of the settlements known as royal cities of New Kingdom Egypt (c.1550-1069 BC). Using spatial analysis to detect patterns of artefact distribution, the study focuses on Amarna, Gurob, and Malqata, incorporating Qantir/Pi-Ramesse for comparison. Being royal cities, these three settlements had a great need for luxury goods. Such items were made of either highly valuable materials, or materials that were not easily produced and therefore required a certain set of skills. Specifically, the industries discussed are those of glass, faience, metal, sculpture, and textiles. Analysis of the evidence of high-status industrial processes throughout the urban settlements, has demonstrated that industrial activities took place in institutionalized buildings, in houses of the elite, and also in small domestic complexes. This leads to the conclusion that materials were processed at different levels throughout the settlements and were subject to a strict pattern of control. The methodological approach to each settlement necessarily varies, depending on the nature and quality of the available data. By examining the distribution of high-status or luxury materials, in addition to archaeological and artefactual evidence of their production, a deeper understanding has been achieved of how industries were organized and how they influenced urban life in New Kingdom Egypt."--Page 4 of cover
