Bøker i Wilbour Studies in Egyptology and Assyriology-serien

Reflects the work of the joint expedition of Cairo University and Brown University to record and publish the tombs uncovered on behalf of Cairo University by Prof. Abdel-Moneim Abu Bakr from 1949 through 1953, but never published.

The studies collected here examine Egyptian (auto-)biographies from a variety of complementary perspectives: anthropological and contrastive perspectives; original Old Kingdom settings; text format and language; social dimensions; religious experience. Belonging to the nonroyal elites, these texts present aspects of individual lives and experience.
