TYP ATESTACE: ZÁPOČET
PODMÍNKY UDĚLENÍ ATESTACE 1. Students are expected to prepare assigned texts (transliteration, translation and grammatical analysis) and actively participate during the sessions. 2. Students are expected to attend a minimum of 9 out of 12 sessions. In case that a student misses more sessions the credit (zápočet) can still be obtained by fulfilling individual assignments, equivalent to the number of sessions missed. 3. The credit (zápočet) can only be assigned after students have successfully passed the exam of “Úvod do klasické egyptštiny” (Mgr. R. Landgráfová, PhD) or have successfully passed a similar exam of Middle Egyptian grammar at another university
COURSE SUMMARY
During the spring semester, the class will focus on two specific corpora of Middle/Classical Egyptian Texts: a. Reading and analysing passages from a cult-religious corpus, specifically the Daily Temple Sanctuary Ritual. Variants of one and the same passage of the ritual (from different regions/periods) will be confronted and discussed. b. Reading and analysing objects from a funerary/mortuary context, such as false doors etc.
