Book Description
Na alcateia, seu nome de criança era Wepwawet. Com os humanos, seu nome de monstro era An-Pu. Mas nós só lembramos de seu nome como um deus: Anúbis. An-Pu, o deus mais carismático e popular do Egito, amadureceu pelo sofrimento e pela observação do mundo. Tornou-se o julgador dos mortos após a guerra de unificação do Baixo e Alto Egito sob o reinado de Narmer, o lendário Rei-Escorpião. O Papiro de Wadjet é um livro de Nicole Sigaud, que mergulha o leitor no mundo fantástico da gênese do deus Anúbis. Do surgimento do meio-humano, adotado por uma alcatéia na Índia, até a sua elevação ao mundo dos mortos por meio da tutela de um djinn. Nicole Sigaud, estudiosa de grimórios antigos, magia medieval e da Antiguidade, incluindo as compilações do Livro dos Mortos egípcio e o Enuma Elish sumério, reuniu as peças do quebra-cabeça da história dessa criança incomum, trazendo à luz da modernidade um dos mistérios sobre a vida de An-Pu.

Book Description
The volume The Materiality of Texts from Ancient Egypt contains nine contributions from well-known papyrologists, Egyptologists, archaeologists and technical specialists. They discuss the materiality of ancient writing and writing supports in various ways through methodological considerations and through practical case studies from the early Pharaonic to the Late Antique periods in Egypt, including Greek and Egyptian papyri and ostraca, inscriptions and graffiti. The articles in this volume present new approaches to the study of textual material and scribal practice, especially in the light of the ongoing development of digital techniques that uncover new information from ancient writing materials. The aim of the book is to encourage researchers of ancient texts to consider the benefits of using these new methods and technological resources.

Book Description
An ancient Egyptian statuette is found on a tiny island in the Central Mediterranean in 1713. It disappears for a century before resurfacing as the centrepiece of an archaeological exhibition. Archaeological investigators, including authors Anton Mifsud and Marta Farrugia are mystified by the find. What in the world was this statuette doing on Malta well before Napoleon and the tomb raiders following in his wake? Dedicated to an unusual triad of Egyptian gods, the statuette belonged to a humble tomb painter in the Valley of the Kings at the time of Rameses the Great. In a bid to unravel the statuette's mystery, Mifsud and Farrugia begin researching the other artefacts that the tomb painter commissioned. As they unravel details about the statuette, they also unravel some unusual details about the tomb painter's life, work and family. But the mystery deepens when they discover the statuette is not what it appears to be in I Painted for Pharaoh. "All objects surviving from ancient Egypt have a story to tell. When and why were they made and how have they survived until the present day? The authors here reveal after long and detailed research, the origins and history of one statuette, investigating why and how it ended in Malta, but also uncovering a fascinating story of more modern intrigue".
