Les noms du Pharaon: Comme êtres autonomes au Nouvel Empire: Comme Etres Autonomes Au Nouvel Empire: 174 (Orbis Biblicus et Orientalis, 174) - Hardcover

This volume, comprising text, catalogue and images, gathers together the iconographic and written sources for the representation of the plethora of names for the Egyptian pharaohs. The discussion focuses on the name as an element of one's personality, the distinction between "representation" and "being", and the nature of the cartouche. Over three hundred examples are examined individually, including many inscriptions and hieroglyphic reliefs, to define the divine and magical value of royal names.
