The Archive of the Theban Choachyte Petebaste Son of Peteamunip (Floruit 7th Century BCE)
Abnormal Hieratic Papyrus Louvre E 3228 A-H
Series: - Papyrologica Lugduno-Batava, Volume: 38
Author:
This book is the first ever edition of an abnormal hieratic business archive from the Louvre once kept by a mortuary priest in 7th century BCE Thebes (Egypt). In addition to providing a full edition of the eight texts from this unique – and partly unpublished – archive, the author also discusses points of Late Period history, law, economics, religion, grammar, and chronology. Of equal note is the particular focus on abnormal hieratic palaeography, thereby turning this publication into a genuine handbook for the study of the most difficult script from Ancient Egypt that will serve students for the next hundred years, offering a unique insight into the ancient Egyptian abnormal hieratic and demotic legal traditions.
Koenraad Donker van Heel, MA in Egyptology (1989) and PhD in Legal History (1996), is University Lecturer in Demotic at Leiden University, teaching Demotic, Abnormal Hieratic and Ancient Egyptian Law. He also writes popular books about life in ancient Egypt.
