The proposed project will investigate one room of the Edfu Temple of Horus, namely room O, the so-called pr-Mnw "House of Min", which is located on the western side of the Temple of Horus in Edfu. It is situated opposite the Wabet complex (rooms Q and P). Both are accessed from the middle hall (room N) and form a cultic unit. The "House of Min" is dedicated to one of the oldest deities of the Egyptian pantheon. On the one hand Min symbolizes fertility, on the other hand he stands for kingship and the legitimation of rule. In this role he is often assimilated to Horus - in Edfu in particular to the various local forms of the god such as Horus-Behedeti or Harsomtus. The existing publication Edfou I (1892/revised 1984) documents neither the scenes nor the texts photographically. Another shortcoming are the drawings of the scenes, which are mere sketches, partly misrepresenting the iconography: they reproduce the figurative decoration just summarily and inaccurately, while the hieroglyphic texts have been completely omitted. As a result, much information of interaction between text and image is lost that is, however, central to understanding the scenes. In addition, a philological treatment of the inscriptions has been completely lacking up to now. The project endeavours to tackle this desideratum and pursues two objectives: Firstly, an initial treatment of the texts with a transliteration and a translation by which the content of the inscriptions and the scenes will be analyzed. The second objective is the recontextualisation of the textual material because of intracultural knowledge transfer. A focus will lie on examining the texts of the room for older, contemporary, and younger parallels and to derive the common contents on the basis of the generally valid rules of decoration that the hierogrammats and decorators followed. By means of a systematic examination of the principles of decoration of the House of Min in Edfu, it will thus be shown how text and knowledge, which the priests took up for the design of the inscriptions, were handed down. The first task is to sketch a picture of the room, especially considering performative-ritual aspects, and then to deduce its exact function within the theological and functional construct of the temple. The work will thus show that the richly decorated temples of the Graeco-Roman period are to be regarded as repositories of older compositions in the form of monumental versions. The question of how longer hymns and other texts were adapted to their particular context - i.e. in the concrete case divided into smaller units on the temple wall - will be pursued on the basis of the model of macro- and micro-text, taking into account the changes in the corpus of spells.

拟议项目将调查埃德富荷鲁斯神庙的一个房间，即 O 室，即所谓的 pr-Mnw“Min House”，位于埃德富荷鲁斯神庙的西侧。它位于 Wabet 大楼对面（Q 室和 P 室）。两者均可从中间大厅（N 室）进入，并形成一个礼拜单元。 “敏之屋”供奉着埃及万神殿中最古老的神灵之一。一方面，敏象征着生育，另一方面，他代表着王权和统治的合法性。在这个角色中，他经常被同化为荷鲁斯——在埃德富，特别是被同化为该神的各种当地形式，如荷鲁斯-贝赫德蒂或哈索姆图斯。现有的出版物《Edfou I》（1892 年/1984 年修订）既没有以照片方式记录场景，也没有记录文字。另一个缺点是场景图，它们只是草图，部分歪曲了图像：它们只是简单且不准确地再现了比喻装饰，而象形文字则被完全省略。结果，文本和图像之间的交互信息丢失了，而这些信息对于理解场景至关重要。此外，迄今为止还完全缺乏对铭文的语言学处理。该项目致力于解决这一迫切问题，并追求两个目标：首先，通过音译和翻译对文本进行初步处理，从而分析铭文和场景的内容。第二个目标是由于文化内知识转移而对文本材料进行重新语境化。重点将在于检查房间文本中较旧的、当代的和较年轻的相似之处，并根据象形文字和装饰者遵循的普遍有效的装饰规则得出共同内容。通过对埃德富民宅装饰原则的系统研究，我们将展示祭司们用于铭文设计的文本和知识是如何传承下来的。第一个任务是勾画出房间的图画，特别是考虑到表演仪式方面，然后推断出它在寺庙的神学和功能结构中的确切功能。因此，该作品将表明，希腊罗马时期装饰华丽的寺庙应被视为纪念性版本形式的较旧作品的宝库。较长的赞美诗和其他文本如何适应其特​​定背景的问题 - 即在具体情况下在寺庙墙壁上划分为较小的单元 - 将在宏观和微观文本模型的基础上进行探讨，同时考虑到咒语语料库的变化。
