Sprachliche Veränderungen in Personennamen der 18. Dynastie vor der Amarnazeit
Although personal names have limited value for studying language history, a corpus-based study of them can contribute meaningfully to research on language change. Personal names of the 18th dynasty before Amarna display the extinction or diminishment of several language features associated with Middle Egyptian (nominal sentences with the copula pw , adverbial sentences of possession with the preposition n , sḏm.tj⸗fj form, relative and predicativ…
Did Vizier Ahmose Ametju and His Wife Bear Non-Egyptian Names
This paper challenges the commonly held view that the names of the early 18 th Dynasty vizier Ahmose Ametju ( ʿmṯ ) and his wife ( Tȝ-ʿmṯ ), spelled in group writing, were non-Egyptian, and questions the validity of claims about the foreign origins of the couple, who were ancestors of a powerful Theban family. The paper argues that the non-Egyptian explanation of the names is no more convincing than the alternative interpretation that they are co…
The Vizier Ankhu and the Dual Vizierate in the Late Middle Kingdom
The conjecture that the vizier Ankhu’s centre of life lay in Thebes has been expressed by previous scholars. This paper reviews the available evidence, complemented by a new reading of stela Cairo CG 20102 and the accounts of the smaller manuscript of pBoulaq 18. Taken together, the data suggests that Ankhu, his father, and his sons, all holding the office of the vizier, had their seat in Thebes. Given that at least one other vizier stands chrono…
Mögliche Dialektmerkmale in den Personennamen des Mittleren Reiches
The paper discusses three irregularities in the regional distribution of personal names in Middle Kingdom sources, which may be linked to regional language varieties. One feature, the sound change , occurs predominantly in sources from the Memphis-Faiyum region. The two other features, the use of the negative word and the possessive prefix , are confined to Theban and Southern Upper Egyptian sources. The latter two features become standard in Lat…
Theban Administration in the Late Middle Kingdom
The survey of 210 Late Middle Kingdom sources attributable to Theban officials aims to define the highest offices of the local administration in order to describe local administrative structures, and to pinpoint the administrative titles that were predominantly used in the Theban administration, thus distancing it from the administration of the northern residence and other power centers of Late Middle Kingdom Egypt. The paper emphasizes the role …
The Theban Kingdom of Dynasty 16
This paper focuses on the emergence of the Theban kingdom of Dynasty 16 in the Second Intermediate Period and explores the historical repercussions of its assumed struggle with the declining state of Dynasty 13 centered at Itjtawy. A revision of the recent evidence from Edfu raises doubts about the alleged contemporaneity of Sobekhotep iv and Khayan. A survey of administrative titles in the sources pertaining to the Theban kingdom testifies that …
Twelve notes on Ipuwer
Review of a Roland Enmarch’s recent commentary on the ancient Egyptian poem The Dialogue of Ipuwer. The fundamental book under review is a major contribution to our understanding of this literary composition. However, the challenging text of The Dialogue is obscured by corrupt transmission, which invites further study. The authors discuss twelve passages from The Dialogue and update the renderings offered by Enmarch
A Twelfth Dynasty Stela Workshop Possibly from Saqqara
An early Twelfth Dynasty stela workshop is identified, represented by five stelae datable to the reign of Amenemhat II. Three come from the collection of Thédenat-Duvent and were probably found at either Abydos or Thebes, though the workshop itself may have been located at Saqqara. Twelfth Dynasty false doors with wḏ3t-eyes on the crossbar were probably produced in the Memphis–Fayum region (and in Beni Hasan), with some afterwards being erected a…
Changes in the Htp-dj-nsw Formula in the Late Middle Kingdom and the Second Intermediate Period
The paper focuses on the formal criteria to date the inscriptions currently attributed to the “Late Middle Kingdom” more precisely. This time-span is divided into three periods: the late Twelfth dynasty (Senwosret III to Neferusobek), the Thirteenth dynasty and the Second Intermediate Period. On the basis of a study of the offering formulas on 479 datable monuments, the existing dating criteria are reviewed and new approaches are established. An …
