Evidence of rituals has a prominent place among the legacies of the Egyptian culture. This evidence can be immortalized monumentally on the walls of temples and tombs, or it can appear on papyri and ostraca as an indication of its actual use. There is an abundance of preserved Egyptian rituals which are characterized as much by their variety (temple cult, private use for the living and the dead) as they are by the wide range of levels of language development and writing systems which originated in Egypt during the Greco-Roman Period ( approximately 330 BC to 200 AD). At the same time, there were special conditions during this Period due to the fact that the king, as the official supreme master of rituals, was a stranger. The articles in this volume deal with various aspects of this subject and are enhanced by a study of simultaneous phenomena in Mesopotamia. German text.
English summary: Evidence of rituals has a prominent place among the legacies of the Egyptian culture. This evidence can be immortalized monumentally on the walls of temples and tombs, or it can appear on papyri and ostraca as an indication of its actual use. There is an abundance of preserved Egyptian rituals which are characterized as much by their variety as they are by the wide range of levels of language development and writing systems which originated in Egypt during the Greco-Roman Period. At the same time, there were special conditions during this Period due to the fact that the king, as the official supreme master of rituals, was a stranger. The articles in this volume deal with various aspects of this subject and are enhanced by a study of simultaneous phenomena in Mesopotamia. German description: Unter den Hinterlassenschaften der agyptischen Kultur nehmen Zeugnisse fur Rituale einen hervorragenden Platz ein. Sie konnen sowohl monumental auf den Wanden von Tempeln und Grabern verewigt sein als auch auf Papyri und Ostraka als Referenzwerke zur konkreten Anwendung erscheinen. Gerade aus dem Agypten der griechisch-romischen Zeit (ca. 330 v. Chr.-200 n. Chr.) gibt es eine Fulle erhaltener Rituale, die sich durch thematische Vielfalt (Tempelkult, private Nutzung fur Lebende und Verstorbene) ebenso wie durch ein breites Spektrum der Sprachstufen und Schriftsysteme auszeichnen. Die Beitrage dieses Bandes widmen sich verschiedenen Aspekten dieser Thematik und werden durch eine Studie zu zeitgleichen Phanomenen in Mesopotamien abgerundet.
