Description

Explore the ritual traditions of ancient Egypt through this scholarly analysis of the Old Coptic Schmidt Papyrus and the Curse of Artemisia. This volume provides a detailed re-editing and re-contextualization of these significant texts, which consist of petitions addressed to various manifestations of Osiris. By placing these documents among the Letters to Gods written in Demotic, Greek, and Old Coptic, this work offers a clear view of how ritual petitions functioned within their historical period. The research connects these spiritual communications to broader textual traditions, including Letters to the Dead, Oracle Questions, and contemporary documents such as Petitions to Human Recipients and Documents of Self-Dedication. This publication serves as a vital resource for those studying the evolution of ritual practices. It compares these ancient traditions to later ritual developments, providing a comprehensive look at how people interacted with the divine through written word. It is an essential addition to any collection focused on ancient Egyptian history, linguistics, and religious studies.
