In this book, you will find from a previously unpublished coffin or a reinterpretation of the so-called ‘Letters to the Dead’ to graffiti’s interaction with monumental inscriptions, ‘subatomic’ studies in the spellings of the Osiris’ name or the puzzles of text transmission, among other novel topics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures  List of Tables  Abbreviations  Notes on Contributors    Introduction   Carlos Gracia Zamacona    Part 1 Individuals    1 Secondary Epigraphy and Interaction with Transfigured Dead: The Case of Nikauizezi, Saqqara   Julia Hamilton    2 Decorated Coffin of King’s Ornament Setib Buried at Abusir   Veronika Dulíková and Marie Peterková Hlouchová    3 Putting Intentions in Their Place: Materialising Meaning through Spatial Dynamics in Appeals to the Dead   Angela McDonald    4 De Khenti-Mentiou à Khenti-Imentiou : miroir du monde funéraire royal de l’ ge Thinite à l’Ancien Empire   Jean-Pierre Pätznick    5 Osiris as Written in the Pyramid Texts and the Coffin Texts   César Guerra Méndez and Carlos Gracia Zamacona    Part 2 Groups    6 Repeating the Ritual under the Ground: Performance of the Royal Object Ritual in the Middle Kingdom   Seria Yamazaki    7 Dmjw, N(j)wtj‘Citizen’ in the Pyramid Texts and the Coffin Texts in the Context of the Social and Political Changes Occurred in Egypt at the Turn of the 3rd Millennium BC   Juan Carlos Moreno García    8 New Spells, New Compilations, and the Concept of Variability in Sequences of Pyramid and Coffin Texts   Christelle Alvarez    9 Becoming Wind?
