The House of Min in the Temple of Horus at Edfu (Room O): A dia- and synchronic investigation of the meaning, cultic function and textual history of the chapel.

拟议的项目将调查荷鲁斯Edfu神庙的一个房间，即房间O，即所谓的p - mnw“Min之家”，位于荷鲁斯神庙的西侧。它位于Wabet建筑群的对面（房间Q和P）。两者都可以从中间的大厅（房间N）进入，形成一个崇拜单元。“民之家”是献给埃及万神殿中最古老的神之一的。民一方面象征着生育，另一方面又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，特别是在Edfu，被同化为各种地方形式的神，如荷鲁斯-贝赫德蒂或哈索姆图斯。现存的出版物《edfu I》（1892年/ 1984年修订）既没有对场景也没有对文字进行摄影记录。另一个缺点是场景的绘画，这仅仅是草图，部分歪曲了图像：它们只是简单而不准确地再现了象征性的装饰，而象形文字则完全被省略了。结果，文本和图像之间互动的许多信息丢失了，然而，这是理解场景的核心。此外，对铭文的文献学处理至今完全缺乏。该项目努力解决这一需求，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，通过翻译分析铭文和场景的内容。第二个目标是文本材料的重新语境化，因为文化内的知识转移。重点将放在检查房间的文本，以寻找旧的、当代的和年轻的相似之处，并在象形文字和装饰师遵循的普遍有效的装饰规则的基础上得出共同的内容。通过对Edfu闵府装饰原则的系统考察，我们将看到祭司们为铭文设计所采用的文字和知识是如何流传下来的。第一个任务是画出房间的草图，特别是考虑到表演仪式的方面，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，这项工作将表明，希腊罗马时期装饰华丽的寺庙将被视为纪念性版本形式的旧作品的储存库。关于赞美诗和其他文本适应其特定背景的时间长短的问题- -即在具体情况下被分成寺庙墙壁上较小的单元- -将根据宏观和微观文本模型加以研究，同时考虑到咒语语料库的变化。

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.
