In the six articles making up this documentary volume are edited hitherto unpublished graffiti and hieroglyphic texts.
The six articles making up this documentary volume are comprised of hitherto unpublished graffiti and hieroglyphic texts. There are three ritual scenes that were discovered in the corridor at the entrance to the eastern pylon; they contribute to the building-history of the temple. There follow ritual scenes from a foundation wall, which belong to the decoration of the second court of Mammisi. The next article is concerned with demotic assembly marks of the temple of Edfu, mainly preserved on the bridge connecting the pylons. They allow an insight into the technical planning and the construction of the temple. The following article considers the remains of a small cult building seven decorated blocks of which are preserved in situ close to the northwest corner of the big temple and had not yet been studied in detail. Next are edited several hieratic, demotic and Coptic graffiti, followed by graffiti from the times of Napoleon’s Egyptian expedition. The contents of the volume makes it clear that the exploration of the big temple at Edfu is far from terminated, neither for the evaluation of the inscriptions nor for the documentation.
