9781937040376 - The Temple of Ramesses II in Abydos: Pillars, Niches, and Miscellanea (2) di Iskander, Sameh; Goelet, Ogden (14 risultati)

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Of all the enormous monuments throughout Egypt and Nubia that Ramesses II (the Great; ca. 1279-1212 BCE) left behind, his temple at Abydos, built early in his reign, stands as one of his most elegant monuments, with its simple architectural layout and dramatic and graceful painted relief scenes. Though best known for its dramatic reliefs depicting the battle of Kadesh, the temple also offers a wealth of information about religious and social life in ancient Egypt. It reflects, for example, the strenuous efforts of the early Ramessides to reestablish the Osiris cult in Egypt-and particularly at Abydos-in the aftermath of the Amarna period. Over a seven-year period, the authors of The Temple of Ramesses II in Abydos conducted a field project with the aim of producing an up-to-date and comprehensive architectural, photographic, and epigraphic record of the temple. The result is a masterpiece of modern epigraphic research and publication.This volume - Volume 2, Pillars, Niches and Miscellaea - is the second of two volumes documenting their results. It presents more than two hundred illustrations including detailed line drawings - accurately rendered according to modern epigraphical standards - of elements of the temple as well as translations of the inscriptions found in the temple. . Volume 2, Pillars, Niches and Miscellanea, contains additional elements of the temple, as well as translations of the inscriptions found in the temple. Together with Volume 1, it forms a basis for a detailed analysis of the overall decorative programme of the temple and its symbolism.

The result is a masterpiece of modern epigraphic research and publication.
