This volume gathers thirteen contributions on place names in Ancient and Medieval Egypt. It is the publication of the proceedings of two conferences, held in the Ifao (2011) and the University of Paris-Sorbonne (2012), as part of the research programme “Toponymic Systems” of the Ifao. This research on onomastics, stemming from a long tradition in the Ifao, proposes a renewed approach of toponymy, including current reflections on space and territory. It aims to consider the evolution of place names on a long-term chronology, as to evaluate the geographical changes and modifications in the perception of space.
