Ancient Egyptian love songs have attracted and puzzled researchers ever since they were first read. The second volume of the Golden Goddess series includes papers concerning the aspects of the world of Egyptian literary texts, but also cultural history and sensibilities of the ancient civilization - themes addressed include Begriffsgeschichte, textual analysis, literary studies, as well as concerns of historical anthropology and of reconstructing ancient individual biographies. All three major papyri with the love songs, P. Chester Beatty I, P. Harris 500 and P. Turin 1966 are reproduced on color plates, shown together for the first time.
