The sarcophagus and the coffin of Aaschyt from the 11th dynasty (Cairo JE 47267 and JE 47355/T3C) - edition, commentary and cultural-historical analysis

该项目的第一个目标是对蒙图霍特普二世国王的妻子阿西特的石棺和内部木棺进行适当的编辑和分析。公元前2009-1959年)。尽管出名，但到目前为止，只有外部石棺的装饰部分在质量非常参差不齐的照片中发表；不太著名的棺材也是如此。尽管如此，这两件文物在从第一中期过渡到中央王国期间作为埃及文化的见证的重要性是毋庸置疑的。至于他们的分析，设想了不同视角的结合。这些工作包括：1)对碑文(棺材文本、装饰文本和说明文字)进行全面的文献学分析。2)镜像的详细描述。场景和主题的识别。3)分析文本和图像的内容：主题、主题及其对死者(最终是其他人)的意义。4)装饰方案的重建，即确定装饰元素之间的关系，以及文字或图像与其在空间中的位置之间的关系。5)对细节的观察，这些细节可能揭示这两个物体的生产方面。纳入关于Aashyts埋葬的信息(纽约大都会艺术博物馆档案馆。6)文本和图像的传播研究。7)文化历史背景研究：特定历史条件(中央王国的建立)和王室地位的丧失可能产生的影响。8)与以前关于中央王国和其他时期棺材装饰原则的贡献a)的结果比较。B)关于图案装饰，主要是从艺术史家的角度。9)方法论反思。10)古地理。

The first aim of the project is to provide an appropriate edition and analysis of the stone sarcophagus and the inner wooden coffin of Aashyt, a wife of king Montuhotep II (approx. 2009-1959 BCE). In spite of its fame only parts of the decoration of the outer sarcophagus have been published so far in photographs of very uneven quality; this is similarly true for the less famous coffin. Still, the importance of both objects as testimonies of Egyptian culture during the transition from the First Intermediate Period to the Middle Kingdom is out of question. As for their analysis, a combination of different perspectives is envisaged. These include: 1) A thorough philological analysis of the inscriptions (Coffin texts, decorative texts and captions). 2) Detailed description of the images. Identifications of scenes and motifs. 3) Analysis of the content of texts and images: themes, motifs, and their significance for the deceased (and eventually other persons). 4) Reconstruction of the programme of decoration, i.e. identification of relations between decorative elements and between a text or image and its position in space. 5) Observation of Details which might reveal aspects of the production of the two objects. Incorporation of information on Aashyts burial (archive of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. 6) Studies on the transmission of texts and images. 7) Studies on the cultural-historical background: the possible influence of the specific historical situation (foundation of the Middle Kingdom) and the deceaseds royal status. 8) Comparison with the results of earlier contributions a) on the principles of decoration of coffins from the Middle Kingdom and other periods. b) on the pictorial decoration, mainly from an art-historians perspective. 9) Methodological reflections. 10) Palaeography.
