Studie se zabývá komentovanou verzí textu známého jako König als Sonnenpriester, která je zapsána v oblouku východní stěny pohřební komory kněze Iufay. Podobně jako většina výzdoby stěn Iufaovy pohřební komory a sarkofágů se i tato kompozice zabývá především jeho znalostmi kosmologických, podsvětních či jinak tajných jevů a bytostí. Nejzajímavějším aspektem zde analyzované kompozice je způsob, jakým...
Studie obsahuje překlad a analýzu ochranného kouzla z víka sarkofágu v šachtové hrobce generála Menechibnekona. Jeho jediná dochovaná paralela se nachází na východní stěně vnějšího sarkofágu kněze Iufay, tři sloupce „přetékají“ na stěnu jižní. Hlavní část textu umísťuje zesnulého pod ochranu bohyně Esety, ale je zde vzýváno i sedm mocných „uzlů“ či „výroků“ stvořitelské bohyně. Text zakončuje krátká...

These include a text describing the appearance and functions of the Hayshesh sea serpents, a cosmogony involving the uroboros, a myth of the glorifier of the Nun and an aetiological myth of the origin...
The present study deals with textual tradition and transmission in the Late Period, focusing on selected spells from the Coffin Texts from the shaft tomb of the priest Iufaa at Abusir. Changes in the orthography, palaeography, grammar and content of the texts between the Middle Kingdom (or sometimes even the Old Kingdom) and the Late Period indicate that the priests and scribes of the Late Period,...
The article suggests that other traditions, such as oral ones, could have existed and been observed by priests in connection with the ancient Egyptian texts for reaching the netherworld (with a focus on the Coffin Texts). Based on some spells it would appear that these texts could have been studied, taught and applied both on the earth and in the underworld. They could have served as an abridged version...
