Abstract

L'âne, animal essentiel au commerce et à l'agriculture de l'Égypte ancienne, apparaît dans des sources de tout ordre, témoignant de sa prégnance dans l'univers égyptien. Une grande partie des attestations relatives à cet animal provient de documents économiques. Une autre réalité apparaît toutefois dans la documentation religieuse, où l'âne est le plus souvent interprété comme un représentant de Seth, dieu maléfique par excellence, maître des déserts et des pays étrangers, ennemi et meurtrier de son frère Osiris.À la fois bienveillant et maléfique, l'âne est une entité ambivalente, à qui sont parfois octroyés des pouvoirs redoutables. L'animal, archétype du mal, était ainsi généralement exécré et virtuellement tué dans le contexte sacré des temples, tandis qu'il se distingue parfois dans la littérature funéraire comme un défenseur du dieu solaire. Parallèlement, il est tout à la fois craint et révéré dans de nombreux textes magiques où il apparaît comme une entité puissante et protectrice. Cette étude se fonde sur des témoignages figuratifs, textuels et archéologiques de l'époque prédynastique à la période romaine. Elle réunit pour la première fois la documentation rituelle, funéraire, magique et médicale existante et en fait la synthèse, afin d'appréhender le regard porté sur l'âne dans la religion égyptienne ancienne.English abstractDonkeys were essential in ancient Egyptian trade and agriculture, but their value was nuanced by their perception in religion. The animal appears in funerary, magical or ritual sources, where it often reflects an ambivalent nature, while its well-known association to the evil god Seth is constantly reminded in the modern literature. Either benevolent or evil, donkeys are ambiguous entities that can be recognised as dreadful beings possessing powers praised for their protective efficiency. Although they can be associated to Seth, they also followed their own path. In magical texts, the animal was feared and revered at the same time, becoming a powerful entity holding spears and evoked as a protector, while in the context of the temple it will be annihilated as the archetype of evil. By exploring iconographical, textual and archaeological sources spanning from Predynastic to Roman times, this monograph explores the role of donkeys in ancient Egypt from a religious perspective.

Abstract

Published in six volumes between 1894 and 1905, this collection served as a valuable reference work for students and scholars of Egyptology at a time when ongoing archaeological excavations were adding significantly to the understanding of one of the world's oldest civilisations. At the forefront of this research was Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie, whose pioneering methods made Near Eastern archaeology a much more systematic and scientific discipline. Many of his other publications are also reissued in this series. Britain's first professor of Egyptology from 1892, Petrie was conscious of the fact that there was no textbook he could recommend to his students. The work of Weidemann was in German and out of date, so Petrie and his collaborators incorporated the latest theories and discoveries in this English-language resource. In Volume 1, Petrie covers Egyptian history from its beginnings to the 16th dynasty.

Abstract

Adolf Erman gilt als Gründungsvater der deutschen Ägyptologie. Seine Werke zu Sprache, Religions- und Literaturgeschichte des Alten Ägypten sind Meilensteine der Forschung; sie markieren den Wandel des Faches Ägyptologie von einer romantisierenden Beschäftigung mit dem Alten Ägypten zu einer modernen und kritischen Altertumswissenschaft. Erman stand aber zugleich in regem Austausch mit anderen bedeutenden Wissenschaftlern seiner Zeit (Max Planck, Theodor Mommsen, Eduard Meyer, Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff) und war eingebunden in den spannungsreichen Diskurs von Wissenschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft im Übergang vom 19. Jahrhundert bis zu den den 30er Jahren des 20. Jahrhunderts. Der vorliegende Band thematisiert Ermans Leistung und seine Bedeutung für die Geistes- und Wissenschaftsgeschichte des späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhunderts.
