Prática médica e cura no Egito Antigo ou
O presente artigo considera quais períodos de tempo aparecem nos textos médicos do Egito Antigo e por que esses períodos específi cos de tempo são mencionados, uma problemática que tem sido abordada parcimoniosamente na literatura até então. O estudo fornece uma análise quantitativa dos períodos de tempo em seu contexto textual e examina a que o período de tempo de “quatro dias” poderia potencialmente se referir, dado o conhecimento médico atual …
The semantics of a parallel reality
This paper considers the use of figurative language when intangible or supernatural phenomena are described in language. The case studies are derived from texts written in Ancient Egyptian, an extinct Afroasiatic language (ca. 3200 bce –1300 ce ). It is argued that a MIPVU-based analysis, otherwise very useful for interrogating all kinds of texts, even those from the ancient world, needs to be modified to account for the layers of meaning encount…
The Scribe of The Contendings between the Body and the Head (tTurin CGT 58004 – Cat. 6238)
This study of the Contendings between the Body and the Head presents a new edition and the first English translation of the Turin tablet CGT 58004. Closer analysis of the manuscript suggests a more precise date of the text and facilitates engagement with issues raised, but not expanded upon, by other scholars relating to its composition. Evidence will be considered as to firstly, whether the text was written by a student and secondly, whether the…
Einblicke in den Streit zwischen Leib und Kopf – Eine Neuedition und Textanalyse von tTurin CGT 58004 (Cat. 6238)
This study of the Late Egyptian literary work, The Contendings between the Body and the Head , presents a new edition of the Turin writing tablet CGT 58004. Having visualised recent photos of the tablet with DStretch, a new transcription of the text can be presented, along with a new translation. A textual analysis, moreover, reveals the highly playful and metaphorical nature of the language, whereby the feminine body paints a vivid picture of he…
Building Ideas out of Wood. What Ancient Egyptian Funerary ‘Models’ Tell Us about Thought and Communication
This paper unpacks the cognitive processes potentially involved in comprehending funerary ‘models’ from ancient Egypt. These objects comprise small scenes, usually made of wood, which have been found in burial chambers of pharaonic-era tombs. After considering the fittingness of the term ‘model’, the paper illustrates how a cognitive approach might better help us understand the purported functionality of these objects than has hitherto been the c…
Wege und Abwege. Zu den Metaphern in der ramessidischen Weisheitsliteratur
This study analyses a series of New Kingdom wisdom texts in order to outline the rhetorical power of spatial metaphors, particularly metaphors of path . Firstly we differentiate those metaphors that explicitly mention a path from those that refer in a more implicit manner to some kind of path and its concomitant features. What we find is that path-based metaphors (particularly implicit ones) become more numerous as the rhetorical weight of the te…
