Summary: | Edition of British Museum stela EA 1199, which preserves a biography of Nebwawy, High Priest of Osiris in the reign of Thutmose III, with a new facsimile, translation, commentary, and discussion. Translations and commentaries are also provided for two other stelae attributed to Nebwawy now held in the Cairo Museum, one of which also bears a biographical text (CG 34018). The discussion centres on the treatment of time-frames and assesses the function of these in relation to priestly function and career in this life, as well as provision for the next world. EA 1199 provides perhaps the only narration of a role in the Osiris mysteries known from the Eighteenth Dynasty. |
