Abstract:

You may have learned how the ancient Egyptians wrote numbers. For example, for the number 600, you would write a symbol for a scroll six times. Actually, ancient Egypt had two main systems of writing: hieroglyphic and hieratic. Hieroglyphics, dating back over 5,000 years, were used mainly for inscriptions on stone walls and monuments. Hieratic writing was a cursive script suitable for writing on papyrus, the Egyptian form of paper. Much of our knowledge of ancient Egyptian mathematics comes from a papyrus written by the scribe Ahmose around 1650 B.C.E. Although he wrote in hieratic script, rec

Abstract:

Hieratic Ostracon 655 in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, bears an unusual legal text in which a dispute about a hut is apparently settled by arbitration. The method of writing is unique for this period; the hieratic text is deeply incised and filled with blue frit. It is suggested that the ostracon was erected as a stela in the hut by its new owner, as evidence of his rights. The unusual format may have been intended to give the appearance of an archival document on an ostracon or papyrus.

Abstract:

El-Lahun papyri have fixed writing systems concerning their form, layout, formulae, orthography, and paleography. Reasons for this are the cultural identity of the scribe, writing practices, scribal habits, and the level of the scribe’s education. In this paper, we discuss the writing practices and scribal habits during the Middle Kingdom in El-Lahun society through the hieratic and the cursive hieroglyphic papyri by studying writing materials, the reuse of papyrus, and traces of palimpsest, layout, traditions of corrections and additions, verse points, blank space, guidelines and borderlines,

Abstract:

Summary After a global discussion about the sense of the term ‘Égyptien de tradition’, a number of special features of classical Egyptian texts written in Late Hieratic are presented. It is demonstrated that often an orthographical innovation overlays the fundamentally unchanged grammatical structure. A special focus is put on particles, where e. g. it is demonstrated that a writing is likely to be a strange orthography for the particle . In the verb, gemination is largely abandoned, and the distinction between and is no longer fully functional.

Abstract:

This article examines literary hieratic ostraca from the Theban region, dating to the New Kingdom. It explores the concept of clumsy or poor writing in ancient Egypt, identifying its meanings and possible causes. For instance, such writing may have been produced by novice scribes early in their careers, or by professionals who lacked sufficient skill. Additionally, bad writing in ancient Egypt is evident in the book Kemyt, where students practiced their handwriting. The ostraca, written by multiple hands/scribes, provide insight into the errors made by Egyptian pupils, which were then correcte

AbstractThe thousands of hieratic ostraca and papyri from the Ramesside settlement of necropolis workmen at Deir el-Medina include many texts about private business and legal matters. The majority of standard formulas in these records did not develop before the first half of the 20th dynasty, whereas most of the formulas current in administrative texts of the necropolis already existed in the 19th dynasty. The later increase in and formalization of private and legal texts suggest that writing became only gradually popular in village life. Studies of similar processes in anthropological and his

This paper deals with the difference between two scribal traditions, abnormal hieratic and early demotic, in terms of palaeography. These two distinct scripts were used side by side to write administrative and legal documents in Thebes for a period during the second half of the Saite 26th Dynasty, interacting with and influencing each other. The study focuses on the variation and standardization in abnormal hieratic and early demotic through a detailed comparison of how Ỉmn, pr-ʿȝ and wȝḥ-mw were written in Theban administrative and legal documents of the 25th and 26th Dynasties.

Abstract:

Abstract Neoplatonic symbolism is closely related to the doctrine of theurgy, which was introduced by Iamblichus of Chalcis. The language of Iamblichus’ writings is distinguished by a variety of technical terms that require clarification. Among them are symbolon and synthēma, which are treated as fully equal by some scholars, but are clearly discerned by others. The goal of the present study is to define the meaning of symbolon and synthēma in the extant writings of Iamblichus using context analysis and relevant dependencies on the works of Iamblichus’ predecessors, especially Porphyry of Tyre

Abstract:

Generally, the Book of the Dead in the New Kingdom was inscribed in hieroglyphic and cursive hieroglyphic scripts. However, a few examples were inscribed in hieratic handwriting at the beginning of the Eighteenth Dynasty. This paper will present interesting examples of these early sources. Three hieratic manuscripts from the beginning of the Eighteenth Dynasty belong to the lady Hatnefer, the mother of the renowned Senenmut. This group of hieratic manuscripts consists of two papyri and one leather roll. This paper will also shed light on the handwriting of the manuscripts and try to figure out

   This paper focuses on ligatures—one of the most typical features of hieratic script—through three of the most important sources of hieratic papyri in the Middle Kingdom: The Heqanakht papyri, the el-Lahun papyri and The Ramesseum papyri. This paper aims to respond to some questions raised about hieratic ligature signs, such as did the ancient Egyptian scribe have reasons and motives that made him choose either a connected or a separate spelling when writing a word, and was there a standard way to write ligature words rather than others? It also aims to study the different

The scribe box under study dates back to the old kingdom. It was excavated by the Italian expedition in Qena (1935-1937). The box consists of the lid and the body. The inner side of the lid is decorated with ancient Egyptian inscriptions written with a black pigment. The box was made by using several panels assembled together by wooden dowels and secured with vegetable ropes. The entire box is covered with a red pigment.
