Athribis VII : Ubersetzung der Inschriften des Tempels Ptolemaios XII

The first and by far largest part of this monograph is a complete translation of all the inscriptions of the great temple of Athribis including a short commentary. This part starts with an introduction into the different text categories. The second, analysing, part deals in six chapters with the theology of the temple. It treats first the pantheon of Athribis with the lion goddess Repit and Min on top, and deals further with the more than 100 different room and temple designations. Next come chapters dealing with the parallel texts and cult practice, and in the last chapter the reader finds all arguments in favour of the asumption that this temple is by far the largest remaining mammisi all over Egypt.
