Das Hieratische, die kursive Form der Hieroglyphen, diente als Handschrift der Alten Ägypter und wurde über 3000 Jahre lang für vielfältige Zwecke verwendet. Nicht nur Verwaltungsangelegenheiten, sondern auch Texte der Literatur, Religion und Wissensgebiete wurden mit ihr notiert.Hieratisch schrieb man mit Tusche und Binsenstengeln auf unterschiedlichste Textträger wie Papyri, Leinen, Leder oder Holz, aber auch auf Steinobjekten. Die Auswertung der hieratischen Quellen stellt einen integralen Bestandteil der ägyptologischen Forschung dar. Die systematische Analyse der altägyptischen Kursivschriften, ihrer Schreibpraxis und paläographischen Details ist aber in weiten Teilen ein Desiderat des Faches.Zwei Tagungen in Mainz gaben der Erforschung des Hieratischen als Schriftart neue Impulse. Der nun vorliegende Sammelband beinhaltet Beiträge internationaler Spezialistinnen und Spezialisten zu Stand, Methoden und Perspektiven, zu den entwicklungsgeschichtlichen Parallelen und Unterschieden zwischen den Schriftarten Monumentalhieroglyphen, Kursivhieroglyphen und Hieratisch. Drei Aufsätze widmen sich dem spätzeitlichen Abnorm- oder Kursivhieratischen und römerzeitlichen Besonderheiten. Außerdem werden anhand von Quellen verschiedener Epochen regionale, gattungsbezogene und persönliche Spezifika sowie die hieratische Epigraphik und Papyrologie beleuchtet.

The sixth annual Current Research in Egyptology symposium took place from 6th-8th January 2005 at the University of Cambridge. Although the topics covered by the papers were many and varied, if there is a general theme it would be that of exploring the borders and parameters of the discipline of Egyptology.

Tradition is central to egyptology, and this volume discusses and problematises the concept by bringing together the most recent work on archaeological, art historical and philological material from the predynastic to the late period. The eclectic mix of material in this volume takes us from new kingdom artists in the theban foothills to old kingdom Abusir, and from changing ideas about literary texts to the visual effects of archaising statuary. With themes of diachrony persisting at the centre, apsects of tradition are approached from a variety of pespectives : as sets of conventions abstracted from the continuity of artefactual forms ; as processes of knowledge (and practice) acquisition and transmission ; and as relevant to the individuals and groups involved in artefact production. The volume is divided into four main setions, the first three of which attempt to reflect the different material foci of the contributions : text, art, and artefacts. The final setion collects papers dealing with traditions which span different media. The concepts of cultural productivity and reproductivity are inspired by the field of text criticism and form common reference points for describing cultural change across contributions discussing disparate kinds of data. Briefly put, productive or open traditions are in a state of flux that stands in dialectic relation to shifting social and historical circumstances, while reproductive or closed traditions are frozen at a particular historical moment and their formulations are thereafter faithfully passed down verbatim. The scholars in this volume agree that a binary categorisation is restrictive, and that a continuum between the two poles of dynamic productivity and static reproductivity is by all means relevant to and useful for the description of various types of cultural production. This volume represents an interdisciplinary collaboration around a topic of perennial interest, a rarity in a field increasingly fractured by progressive specialisation.
