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.

拟议的项目将调查埃德福何鲁斯神庙的一个房间，即位于埃德福何鲁斯神庙西侧的O号房间，即所谓的Pr-mNW“民之家”。它位于Wabet建筑群(Q和P室)的对面。两者都从中间大厅(N室)进入，并形成一个邪教单位。“民之家”供奉的是埃及万神殿中最古老的神明之一。闽一方面象征着生育，另一方面又代表着王权和统治的合法化。在这个角色中，他经常被同化为何鲁斯--在埃德福中，尤其是与神的各种地方形式，如何鲁斯-贝赫代蒂或哈索姆图斯。现有出版物Edfou I(1892年/1984年修订本)既没有以照片记录场景，也没有记录文本。另一个缺点是场景的素描，只是草图，在一定程度上歪曲了肖像：它们只是简单而不准确地再现了比喻的装饰，而象形文字却被完全省略了。结果，文本和图像之间交互的许多信息丢失了，然而，这是理解场景的核心。此外，迄今为止，对碑文的文献学处理也完全欠缺。该项目努力满足这一愿望，并追求两个目标：第一，通过音译和翻译对文本进行初步处理，以分析铭文和场景的内容。第二个目标是由于文化内的知识转移，文本材料的重新语境化。重点将在于检查房间的文字，以寻找更古老、更现代和更年轻的相似之处，并在象形文字和装饰者所遵循的普遍有效的装饰规则的基础上得出共同的内容。通过对埃德福民居装饰原则的系统研究，将展示祭司在铭文设计中所采用的文字和知识是如何流传下来的。第一项任务是绘制一幅房间的草图，特别是考虑到表演仪式的方面，然后推导出它在神学和寺庙功能结构中的确切功能。因此，这项工作将表明，格雷科-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藏库。关于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上被分成较小的单元--将根据宏观和微观文本模式进行探讨，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.
