Etudes d'Onomastique Egyptienne: Methodologie Et Nouvelles Approches

The Etudes d'onomastique egyptienne. Methodologie et nouvellesapproches underscores the presence of a research programme at the IFAO devoted to onomastic research since 2008. This volume contains the reworked papers from some seminars held in Cairo in 2008 and 2009, which testify to the increasing attention paid to onomastic studies in Egyptology. In fact, names of places and people play an indispensable role in organising space and social life. This is clearly visible throughout the pharaonic period from the mention of place-names from the very first texts of the Predynastic through to the personal names of late Demotic graffiti. The articles in this volume sum up previous research and also contribute with new insights and hypotheses. Names are explored through studies relating to aspects such as Egyptian grammar, semantic fields, prosopography and geography.
