Overview

This volume gathers twelve contributions from the international colloquium ""Funerary Texts in Egypt during the First Millennium BCE: Continuity and Change from the Third Intermediate Period to the Late Period"", which took place at the University of Lausanne in September 2021, in partnership with the Institut francais d'archeologie orientale and the University of Basel. The articles presented in this book focus on the funerary texts of the Third Intermediate Period (1069-664 BCE) and the Late Period (664-332 BCE), while making a link with the preceding period-the New Kingdom-and the following one-the Ptolemaic period. The articles are presented diachronically in order to highlight the particularities of each period and to identify the modes of transmission from one period to another. The various media on which these texts are copied (papyrus, tomb walls, coffins) are also taken into account. The book thus provides an overview of the development of funerary texts and their transmission media during these periods.
