This Liber Amicorum is offered to René van        Walsem on the occasion of his retirement. He has been lecturer in        Egyptology at Leiden University since 1979 and was joint field director        of the Dutch archaeological mission at Saqqara from 1999 until 2007. The        volume contains twenty-four articles written by academics from around        the world, all of whom have been part of, and have been influenced by,        René van Walsem’s extensive professional career.  The contributions        are divided into five themes: Material Culture – Finds at the        Necropolis, relating amongst others to the (Anglo-)Dutch excavations        of the New Kingdom tombs of Horemheb, Maya \u0026amp; Merit, Meryneith, and        others, at Saqqara; Epigraphy – Texts and History, highlighting        some surprising textual material connected to Saqqara; Theoretics –        Religion and Theory of Egyptology, dealing with the material culture        of ancient Egypt in particular, art history in general, and the        scientific methodology applicable to both fields; Mastabas – Scenes        of Daily Life, revolving around the interpretation of iconographic        programmes in Old Kingdom elite tombs of the Memphite Area, including        the necropoleis of Giza, Abusir, Saqqara, Dashur and Meidum; Funerary        Equipment – Coffins and Stolas, focussing on coffins and specific        iconographic details.  Touching upon the different subjects to        which René has made important contributions, the authors imagine new        interpretations, and offer images of the Memphite necropolis in various        epochs.","brand":"Peeters Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49546323329367,"sku":"9789042935648","price":72.66,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/imaging-and-imagining-the-memphite-necropolis-liber-amicorum-rene-van-walsem-9789042935648","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
