I28-R145-13746_oai2025-11-17 González León, Daniel 2023-12-01 The rapid progress after the decipherment of ancient Egyptian writing led Egyptologists to approach the texts mainly from a morphosyntactic and lexicographical point of view. Paleography of only the hieratic and demotic scripts was imperative because, unlike hieroglyphs, their signs do not have an immediately recognizable pictographic character. The hieroglyph was only appealing for its aesthetics. Nevertheless, the paleographic material of the hieroglyphic script may be used to assess the date of a text, infer its geographical provenance, and distinguish individual hands and workshops, as well as to conduct grammatological analysis. Today, these tasks are certainly more manageable thanks mainly to the monographic series Paléographie hiéroglyphique, launched by Dimitri Meeks in 2001. The goal is to create a new classification system of hieroglyphs independent of the current catalogs of typographic fonts. The intention of the present author is to enrich this catalogue with the paleography of the Old Kingdom Coptos decrees. This paper presents the aims and methods of this project called Paleographic Study of the 6th and 8th Dynasty Coptos Decrees, currently based at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. El rápido avance de los estudios tras el desciframiento de las escrituras egipcias antiguas llevó a los egiptólogos a trabajar los textos principalmente desde un punto de vista morfosintáctico y lexicográfico. Sólo la paleografía de las escrituras hierática y demótica interesaba porque, a diferencia de la jeroglífica, sus signos no tienen un carácter pictográfico inmediatamente reconocible. El signo jeroglífico sólo atraía por su estética. Sin embargo, el material paleográfico de la escritura jeroglífica puede servir, no sólo para datar un texto, identificar su procedencia y distinguir diferentes manos y talleres, sino también para realizar análisis gramatológicos. En la actualidad, estas tareas son ciertamente más asequibles de realizar gracias, en gran medida, a la iniciativa que tomó Dimitri Meeks en 2001 con la serie monográfica Paléographie hiéroglyphique. El objetivo es desarrollar un nuevo sistema de clasificación de jeroglíficos independiente de los catálogos de fuentes tipográficas actuales. La intención del presente autor es enriquecer este catálogo con la paleografía de los decretos de Coptos del Reino Antiguo. En este artículo se presentan los objetivos y la metodología de este nuevo proyecto denominado Paleographic Study of the 6th and 8th Dynasty Coptos Decrees, actualmente con sede en el Metropolitan Museum of Art. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/13746 10.34096/rihao.n24.13746 spa Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, UBA https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/13746/12196 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/rihao/article/view/13746/12275 Revista del Instituto de Historia Antigua Oriental 'Dr. Abraham Rosenvasser'; Núm. 24 (2023) 2683-9660 0325-1209 Coptos hieroglyphic paleography Old Kingdom royal decrees Coptos decretos reales paleografía jeroglífica Reino Antiguo A Project for the Paleographic Study of the Coptos Decrees El proyecto de estudio paleográfico de los decretos de Coptos info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=rihao&d=13746_oai |

The rapid progress after the decipherment of ancient Egyptian writing led Egyptologists to approach the texts mainly from a morphosyntactic and lexicographical point of view. Paleography of only the hieratic and demotic scripts was imperative because, unlike hieroglyphs, their signs do not have an immediately recognizable pictographic character. The hieroglyph was only appealing for its aesthetics. Nevertheless, the paleographic material of the hieroglyphic script may be used to assess the date of a text, infer its geographical provenance, and distinguish individual hands and workshops, as well as to conduct grammatological analysis. Today, these tasks are certainly more manageable thanks mainly to the monographic series Paléographie hiéroglyphique, launched by Dimitri Meeks in 2001. The goal is to create a new classification system of hieroglyphs independent of the current catalogs of typographic fonts. The intention of the present author is to enrich this catalogue with the paleography of the Old Kingdom Coptos decrees. This paper presents the aims and methods of this project called Paleographic Study of the 6th and 8th Dynasty Coptos Decrees, currently based at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. |
