Die Ostraka Der Fruhen 18. Dynastie Aus Deir El-Bahri Und Dem Asasif

This publication contains a large part of the ostraca that were created during the construction work on the temples of the early 18th Dynasty at Deir el-Bahri. To this day, more than a century after their discovery, these ostraca (over 700) have remained largely unpublished. Most of the texts deal with the organization of the construction work. Some ostraca refer to the offering ritual in the temples. Finally, there are exercises by aspiring scribes who practiced by copying classical literary works. Vol. I: Catalogue with translation and commentary. Vol. II: Analysis of the texts; lists of personal names, titles, words, toponyms, names of kings and gods, and a paleography. Vol. III: Facsimiles and hieroglyphic transcriptions. The photos, facsimiles and hieroglyphic transcriptions, together with a complete paleography, are available online in a PDF file.
