BIFAO 120 in Bloomington, MN

The Bulletin of the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology (BIFAO) has covered the entire field of Egyptology since its first appearance in 1901. Studies published in the BIFAO have a chronological spread from prehistory to the Old Kingdom to the Byzantine period, and they illustrate the present state of research in the areas of archaeology, epigraphy, lexicography, iconography and philology. Among the 14 contributions that make up BIFAO 120 are the publications of two monuments (a Roman tomb and a stela dated to the 18th Dynasty) and one document (a papyrus from a jar from Edfu), as well as three studies on Deir el-Medina (one of which is based on fragments belonging to the "Stato Civile"). Various thematic studies are also included, notably on the transmission of the Book of the Amduat from the Third Intermediate Period to the Late Period, the function of the "sanatorium" of Dendara revisited, renep-priests and other priesthoods of Imau, and the position of the constellation of the Chariot in hieroglyphic sources.
