The antu-list reconsidered. A synoptic reading of Edfu and Athribis ingredients

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The Temple of Edfu, dedicated to Horus, is the best-preserved temple of that period with a laboratory that records ingredient lists, instructions, and recipe texts relating to perfume making for ritual purposes. In that laboratory, on the west-wall in the first register and opposite to the entrance, is inscribed a list of aromatic substances used for anointing divine bodies (statuary) in the temple cult. It includes 14 varieties of tree exudates referred to as antu and conventionally translated as “myrrh.” Our paper focuses on multidisciplinary and complementary methods of producing an edition of this rare text using a parallel found at the Temple of Athribis and of our prospects for identifying the resins named in the list. We will present some preliminary results based on approaches from several disciplines: philology, Egyptology, Greco-Roman studies, archaeology, botany, and experimental.
