Critical analysis of J.P. Allen's The ancient egyptian pyramid texts
Book information
Description
Edited by A. K. Eyma. Omsk-Tricht, 2012.The Pyramid Texts constitute the most ancient written text corpus of such a size to have reached us. They reflect the images of the ancient Egyptians about the life of a king after physical death and present a rich source of philological material still in need of urgent study. The correct reading of these monumental texts is necessary for an integral understanding of the funerary cult of a king. Important work in the field of the Pyramid Texts has been done by James Allen. Due to the work of this outstanding scholar, we have essentially enriched our knowledge of the language of these ancient texts. Since the editing by Prof. Allen of his translation of the Pyramid Texts in the year 2005 (J. P. Allen. The Ancient Egyptian Pyramid Texts. Society of Biblical Literature, Atlanta), his work has become the standard. However, as our knowledge of language steadily grows it is apparent that there is still much to be done. The present work is an attempt to thoroughly look into the whole PT corpus to add to, and sometimes to contradict, the readings suggested by Prof. Allen
