Synopsis
Contributing Authors

The Ptolemaic period (332-30 BC) saw the emergence of new funerary compositions with diversified contents and formats that would gradually supplant the famous Book of the Dead, particularly in the Theban area. These proceedings bring together the contributions of eleven of the participants in the international conference From One Shore to the Other: New Perspectives on Funerary and Religious Practices in Ptolemaic and Roman Thebes held at the University of Basel in 2022. The articles by egyptologists, papyrologists and archaeologists, involved in research related to the Theban area and beyond during the Ptolemaic and Roman periods, discuss funerary, documentary and archaeological sources. They aim to connect textual, religious, socio-economical and historical backgrounds in order to examine the socio-cultural factors and the influence of local cults, that could have contributed to the evolution of late funerary literature.
