The fifth volume of the Mirgissa series is devoted to the publication of the seals, dating from the 12th and 13th dynasties, which were discovered in the Mirgissa fortress on the southern Egyptian frontier. More than 15,000 pieces were found. A number of the seals were on door frames; others were on papyrus documents, boxes and conta
Le volume V de la serie Mirgissa est consacre a la publication des empreintes de sceaux mises au jour sur ce site de la frontiere meridionale de l’Egypte, et datees, pour la plupart, des XIIe et XIIIe dynasties. Plus de 15 000 fragments ont ete recueillis dans la forteresse et sa decharge. Outre un grand nombre sur les huisseries des portes, et d’autres sur papyrus, les sceaux etaient appliques sur des coffres et divers contenants. Les empreintes ont ete laissees par des sceaux aux motifs geometriques ou graves de signes hieroglyphiques?; d’autres livrent les noms de rois et des representations locales de grandes institutions comme le Tresor, les greniers, les magasins, le service du travail, ou encore donnent les titres et les noms de fonctionnaires. Certaines emanent de forts voisins. Cet ensemble remarquable et unique a permis d’etudier, dans une seconde partie, l’organisation, au Moyen Empire, d’un mnnw, Mirgissa/Iqen, place sous l’autorite d’un gouverneur, et ses relations avec la metropole et les autres citadelles de Nubie.
