Abstract

Im Verlauf der deutsch-ägyptischen archäologischen und epigraphischen Feldarbeiten in Assiut/Mittelägypten wurden in den Jahren 2012-2014 im Grab des Regionalgouverneurs Djefai-Hapi I. (ca. 1900 v. Chr.) Deckenmalereien freigelegt, welche in ihrer Motivwahl, ihrem Arrangement und in ihrer Monumentalität neue Maßstäbe ägyptischen Designs zur Zeit des Mittleren Reiches setzten. Infolge starker Verschmutzungen blieben die Malereien in der modernen Forschung nahezu unbeachtet. In Zusammenarbeit mit ägyptischen Restauratoren erfolgte eine partielle Reinigung der Malereien. Vorliegender Band stellt die Deckenmalereien ausführlich vor und behandelt die Bedeutung und den Transfer einzelner Motive wie des gesamten Deckenmusters von Ägypten und dem ägäischen Raum während des Mittleren Reiches über die ägyptische Spätzeit bis in das London des 19. Jahrhunderts. Eine Analyse der verwendeten Farbpigmente, ein Index der Personennamen sowie zahlreiche Farbtafeln und Computerrekonstruktionen schließen den Band ab

Abstract

Seit 2003 arbeitet das deutsch-ägyptische "Asyut Project" auf dem Gebel Asyut al-gharbi, dem Gräberberg der mittelägyptischen Stadt Assiut. Im Verlauf der Grabungen kam im Jahre 2010 eine Statue zutage, deren Typ und Stil regionalspezifische Charakteristika aufweisen. Sie kann einer Gruppe von elf weiteren, bislang bekannten Statuen der sogenannten Ersten Zwischenzeit und des Mittleren Reiches zugeordnet werden, welche in der Sekundärliteratur oftmals negativ beurteilt wurden. Jochem Kahl diskutiert in seiner Untersuchung Fundplätze, Datierung, Werkstätten, Nutzerkreis und Funktion dieser Statuen ebenso wie ihre Bewertung innerhalb der Ägyptologie. Dabei zeigt sich, dass die Statuen sowohl am Ende der Ersten Zwischenzeit als auch im frühen Mittleren Reich in Gräbern verwendet wurden und ihre Herstellung nicht etwa staatspolitischen Gegebenheiten oder handwerklichen Unzulänglichkeiten unterlag. Eine reichhaltige Fotodokumentation aller derzeit zugänglichen Statuen dieser Gruppe rundet das Werk ab.

Abstract

Asyut - The excavations of the Italian Archaeological Mission (1906-1913) ripercorre la vicenda degli scavi della Missione Italiana ad Assiut grazie a un'ampia e rigorosa ricognizione della documentazione archivistica e archeologica. Nel volume sono presenti diversi contributi redatti da grandi studiosi: Jochem Kahl, che si è concentrato sulla storia di Assiut offrendo una panoramica generale sugli scavi avvenuti presso questa località; Marcella Trapani, che si è soffermata sull'archivio fotografico della Missione in Egitto di Schiaparelli; Paolo Del Vesco, che ha raccontato, per linee generali, il lavoro condotto da Schiaparelli; e, infine, Alice Maria Sbriglio che ha studiato e trascritto le incisioni, le note inedite e i diari relativi agli scavi di Schiaparelli condotti ad Assiut tra il 1906 e il 1913 impreziosendo questa pubblicazione con un considerevole apparato testuale. Infine, il testo è accompagnato da un ricco apparato iconografico e una bibliografia esaust iva. Il senso di quest'opera è legato a una precisa intenzione del Museo Egizio: valorizzare gli archivi, sia quello storico che quello fotografico, presenti nel Museo per renderli nuovamente fruibili al pubblico, non solo in un'ottica di ricostruzione del contesto archeologico dei reperti provenienti dagli scavi diretti da Schiaparelli fra il 1903 e il 1920, ma anche di inquadramento dell'attività della Missione Italiana nelle sue dimensioni culturale e politica. Asyut è il primo titolo della collana "Studi del Museo Egizio", curata da Christian Greco, Paolo Del Vesco e Federico Poole. Pur riallacciandosi all'originario Catalogo del Museo Egizio di Torino, redatto nel 1965 da Giuseppe Botti e Sergio Donadoni, la collana non si limita ad accogliere i cataloghi tradizionali o le monografie sulle ricerche annesse alla collezione del Museo, ma, attraverso un approccio inedito, che coinvolge più discipline - a partire dall'edizione critica di testi inediti, fino ad arri vare allo studio della materialità resa possibile da analisi diagnostiche sempre più complesse - tenta di studiare e comprendere la cultura materiale delle opere presenti al Museo, senza soffermarsi unicamente sulla presentazione degli oggetti. Assiout : les fouilles de la mission archéologique italienne (1906-1913) retrace les fouilles de la mission italienne à Assiout grâce à une étude approfondie et rigoureuse de la documentation archivistique et archéologique. Le volume contient plusieurs contributions écrites par de grands spécialistes : Jochem Kahl, qui s'est concentré sur l'histoire d'Assiout en offrant un aperçu général des fouilles qui y ont eu lieu ; Marcella Trapani, qui s'est attardée sur les archives photographiques de la mission Schiaparelli en Égypte ; Paolo Del Vesco, qui a décrit l'œuvre de Schiaparelli dans ses grandes lignes ; et, enfin, Alice Maria Sbriglio, qui a étudié et transcrit les gravures, notes inédites et journaux intimes relatifs aux fouilles de Schiaparelli menées à Assiout entre 1906 et 1913, enrichissant cette publication d'un appareil textuel considérable. Enfin, le texte est accompagné d'un riche appareil iconographique et d'une bibliographie exhaustive. La signification de ce travail est liée à une intention précise du Musée égyptien : valoriser les archives, tant historiques que photographiques, présentes dans le Musée afin de les rendre à nouveau accessibles au public, non seulement en vue de reconstituer le contexte archéologique des pièces provenant des fouilles dirigées par Schiaparelli entre 1903 et 1920, mais aussi pour inscrire l'activité de la mission italienne dans ses dimensions culturelles et politiques. Assiout est le premier titre de la collection "Studi del Museo Egizio", dont les éditeurs scientifiques sont Christian Greco, Paolo Del Vesco et Federico Poole. Bien qu'elle s'inspire du catalogue original du Musée égyptien de Turin, établi en 1965 par Giuseppe Botti et Sergio Donadoni, la collection ne se limite pas aux catalogues traditionnels ou aux monographies sur les recherches liées à la collection du Musée, mais, par une nouvelle approche, impliquant plusieurs disci plines - à partir de l'édition critique de textes inédits, jusqu'à l'étude de la matérialité rendue possible par des analyses diagnostiques de plus en plus complexes - elle tente d'étudier et de comprendre la culture matérielle des œuvres du Musée, sans s'attarder uniquement sur la présentation des objets.

Abstract

Pottery of Manqabad presents a catalogue of selected pottery from the monastic site of Manqabad (Asyut, Egypt), which has, since 2011, been the object of an ongoing study and conservation project at the University of Naples 'L'Orientale' (UNIOR). The ceramic material, dated to the Late Antique Period, derives mostly from the SCA warehouse of el-Ashmunein, where it was kept soon after its accidental discovery in 1965. About 40 items derive from the surface collection and survey conducted on the site during the last fieldwork season (2018). The typologies identified include the most relevant Byzantine classes and a particular link with production from the Middle Egypt region. Part of the field survey was devoted to the analysis of the pottery material still in situ, found in the Northern Sector of the site where a 230m long row of monastic housing units is located. Further investigations will hopefully support the hypothesis of a local pottery production area, which could be identified in a large 'dump' at the southern end of the site. More generally, the analysis of the ceramics from Manqabad has underlined the undoubtedly high cultural level of the local monastic community, which can be deduced also from the textual, architectural and wall depiction evidence from the site. Manqabad was largely unknown to the scientific community, but since the first season of work by the Italian-Egyptian project, it has emerged as an important venue for the religious development of Coptic culture between the second half of the Vth to the end of the VIII- early IXth century AD.

Abstract

This study seeks to add to the understanding of the history of Asyut and of archaeofauna by examining the osteofaunal remains from the Tomb of the Dogs on Gebel Asyut al-gharbi, with a particular focus on canids. Its objective is to shed more light on animals in ancient Egyptian society and religion, as well as on the various functions that Gebel Asyut al-gharbi (the western mountain of Asyut) fulfilled throughout the course of history.

Abstract

Drawing on archaeological findings and an unusual combination of Greek and Egyptian evidence, Dorothy Thompson examines the economic life and multicultural society of the ancient Egyptian city of Memphis in the era between Alexander and Augustus. Now thoroughly revised and updated, this masterful account is essential reading for anyone interested in ancient Egypt or the Hellenistic world.The relationship of the native population with the Greek-speaking immigrants is illustrated in Thompson's analysis of the position of Memphite priests within the Ptolemaic state. Egyptians continued to control mummification and the cult of the dead; the undertakers of the Memphite necropolis were barely touched by things Greek. The cult of the living Apis bull also remained primarily Egyptian; yet on death the bull, deified as Osorapis, became Sarapis for the Greeks. Within this god's sacred enclosure, the Sarapieion, is found a strange amalgam of Greek and Egyptian cultures.
