Amsterdam, Allard Pierson Museum., 1998. [X],[114] pp. 13 line drawings & 101 b./w. photographs. Loose in stiff paper wrappers (as published). 4to. (Corpus Antiquitatum Aegyptiacarum. Loose-leaf catalogue of Egyptian antiquities. Allard Pierson Museum Amsterdam. Fasc. IV). A scholarly catalogue written by the Dutch Egyptologist Willem M. van Haarlem. The book provides a detailed scientific inventory and description of the ancient Egyptian sarcophagi, coffins, and related funerary objects held in the collection of the Allard Pierson Museum. It is structured as a loose-leaf catalogue in which each object is documented individually and with great precision. It covers wooden and stone coffins, sarcophagi, fragments thereof, and related objects (such as cartonnage masks or coffin decorations) from various periods of ancient Egypt. For each object, the exact dimensions, materials used (such as wood types or pigments), iconography (religious imagery and depictions of deities), and hieroglyphic inscriptions (including transliteration and translation) are analyzed. The book aids in dating the objects and places them within the context of ancient Egyptian religion and funerary rituals, particularly the journey of the deceased to the afterlife. - Text in English.
