Illuminating Osiris : Egyptological Studies in Honor of Mark Smith PDF
Edited by Richard Jasnow, Richard Jasnow
Part of the Material and Visual Culture of Ancient Egypt series
Description
Illuminating Osiris comprises twenty-seven articles by students, friends, and colleagues in honor of Mark Smith, Professor of Egyptology at the University of Oxford.
Smith is especially renowned as a Demoticist and specialist in ancient Egyptian religion.
His numerous Demotic text editions and translations of Egyptian funerary and religious compositions have been enormously influential in the field.
The contributions in Illuminating Osiris naturally reflect Smith's particular interests in the religion and literature of Graeco-Roman period Egypt, dealing with cult, rituals, astronomy, and divination, among other subjects.
The book includes many editions or reeditions of texts written in Demotic, Hieratic, and Ptolemaic Hieroglyphs.
It is profusely illustrated and supplied with detailed indices.
