Ancient Egyptian Epigraphy; Ancient Egyptian Palaeography; Ancient Egyptian Art; Ancient Egyptian scripts; Ancient Egyptian texts
Abstract :
[en] The Oxford Handbook will be accessible to students and scholars interested in ancient Egypt, ancient history, archaeology, art history, and reception studies. The purposes of the volume are (1) to discuss current theories with regard to the cultural setting and the material realities in which Egyptian carved and painted texts were produced, (2) to familiarize the reader with post-pharaonic receptions, records, and interpretations of Egyptian texts, (3) to outline traditional and emerging techniques and challenges in the recording and interpreting of ancient texts in the modern era, and (4) to review methodologies and challenges in the study of the palaeographies of various ancient Egyptian scripts. Because of the unique relationship between word and image in Egyptian hieroglyphic and hieratic texts, the volume will also address figural representation as well as narrative inscriptions.
