Corpus of Inscriptions of the Herakleopolitan Period from the Memphite Necropolis - Translation, commentary and analyses (Paperback)

This work examines in detail a specific group of inscribed material from the Memphite necropolis. The material dates to the late Old Kingdom- Herakleopolitan Period, and comes from tombs belonging to officials of various ranks and social standing. Some of the stelae and other inscribed fragments, offering tables, side pieces, and blocks have been published, while others are looked at here for the first time.

It investigates the distribution of the Herakleopolitan Period cemeteries in the vast necropolis of Memphis; analyses each individual cemetery and its development through this period; and explores the architectural remains of the chapels of the period to cast light on their design. A major focus is the examination of the tomb stelae, their orientation, development, and their inscriptions...
