Historical and archaeological aspects of Egyptian funerary culture : religious ideas and ritual practice in Middle Kingdom elite cemeteries
This study of the history of regional elites and of the archaeology of their cemeteries shows that the Coffin Texts of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom do not reflect a form of popular religion, but rather the cult of local rulers.

Historical and archaeological aspects of Egyptian funerary culture : religious ideas and ritual practice in Middle Kingdom elite cemeteries
\"Historical and Archaeological Aspects of Egyptian Funerary Culture, a thoroughly reworked translation of Les textes des sarcophages et la dâemocratie published in 2008, challenges the widespread idea that the 'royal' Pyramid Texts of the Old Kingdom after a process of 'democratisation' became, in the Middle Kingdom, accessible even to the average Egyptian in the form of the Coffin Texts. Rather they remained an element of elite funerary culture, and particularly so in the Upper Egyptian nomes. The author traces the emergence here of the so-called 'nomarchs' and their survival in the Middle Kingdom. The site of Dayr al-Barshهa, currently under excavation, shows how nomarch cemeteries could even develop into large-scale processional landscapes intended for the cult of the local ruler. This book also provides an updated list of the hundreds of (mostly unpublished) Middle Kingdom coffins and proposes a new reference system for these\"--Provided by publisher.

Rätselhafte Befunde an anthropologischem Untersuchungsmaterial aus Ägypten. Addenda zu Herodots \Historien\, Lib. II, 86-88 und zum ägyptischen \Sparagmos\?
Neuere Mumienfunde, datiert zwischen 700 v. Chr. und 400 n.Chr., aus den altägyptischen Nekropolen von Buto und Minshat Abu Omar im Nildelta, geben zu der Vermutung Anlaß, daß neben den z. B. von Herodot berichteten, eingriffsarmen Techniken der Einbalsamierung auch höchst invasive, mit einer Mazeration bzw. Teilmazeration der Körperweichteile einhergehende Verfahren praktiziert wurden. Sie scheinen in Widerspruch zu gewissen, religiös begründeten Vorstellungen von der \"Intaktheit des Leibes\" zu stehen. Schließlich erinnern sie an von W. M. Flinders Petrie gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts publizierte Befunde an anthropologischem Untersuchungsgut aus prädynastischer Zeit, deren Kongruenz mit bestimmten Inhalten mythologischer und religiöser Texte (Pyramidentexte, Sargtexte, Ägyptisches Totenbuch) unverkennbar ist. Möglicherweise sind die Befunde im Sinne einer Reminiszenz an ein der Einbalsamierungssitte vorausgehendes archaisches, jedoch nicht ägyptenspezifisches Brauchtum zu deuten. Primäre Intention der Arbeit ist es, neues Fundmaterial zu einem seit langem kontrovers diskutierten Thema vorzustellen und andere, in Ägypten tätige archäologische Missionen zu motivieren, sich der Problematik verstärkt anzunehmen.

Legitimation of massacres in Israeli school history books
This article examines reports about massacres in eight Israeli secondary school history books, published between 1998 and 2009. 'It aims to show that massacres, or rather their outcome, are legitimated in these books through a complex rhetoric that involves both verbal and visual means. The article uses theories and analytical tools of Critical Discourse Analysis, Social Semiotics and Multimodal Analysis to examine the linguistic, discursive, generic and multimodal strategies of legitimation employed in these school books. The analysis is based primarily on the works of Van Dijk (1997), Martin Rojo and Van Dijk (1997), Van Leeuwen (2000, 2007,2008), Van Leeuwen and Wodak (1999), Hodge and Kress (1993) and Coffin (1997, 2006). The article argues that Israeli mainstream school books implicitly legitimate the killing of Palestinians as an effective tool to preserve a secure Jewish state with a Jewish majority, and suggests that this legitimation prepares Israeli youth to be good soldiers and to carry on the practices of occupation in the Palestinian Occupied Territories.

The Korean Origin of the Term Samch'ŏ chŏnsim 三處傳心 (Three Places of Mind-Transmission)
Samch'ŏ chŏnsim (Three places of the mind-transmission 三處傳心) is one of the best-known terms in the Korean Buddhist tradition. It refers to three different events in which the Buddha Śākyamuni transmitted the mind to his successor, Mahākāśyapa. These events include the Buddha sharing his seat, holding up a flower, and sticking his feet out of his coffin. Despite its popularity, the term has hardly attracted serious academic attention. Scholars have assumed that it originated from China to refer to those \"historical\" episodes that happened in India. However, textual evidence shows (a) that many mind-transmission episodes developed in medieval China to substantiate the Chan separation from the scriptural tradition and (b) that the term Samch'ŏ chŏnsim was first introduced in Korea to treat the three episodes of Samch'ŏ chŏnsim collectively and to attempt a new interpretation of the mind-transmission. The term first appears in the Koryŏ Sŏn master Kagun's Sŏnmun yŏmsong sŏrhwa 禪門拈頌說話 to present the idea that the Buddha transmitted to Kāśyapa different minds or different aspects of the mind in different times and places.

Three Places of Mind-Transmission (三處傳心): The Polemical Application of Mind-Transmission Stories in Korean Sŏn Buddhism
This article explores the Korean application of “mind-transmission” (K.chŏnsim, C.chuanxin)episodes to the intra-Sŏn (C. Chan) polemics. Korean Sŏn masters, unlike Chinese counterparts, sought for the religious meaning of the existence of multiple transmission episodes that circulated in East Asia from the Sŏn polemical perspective. In particular, Kagun and Paekp'a used the term“samch'ŏ chŏnsim”to promote their own visions of Sŏn within the situation in which different visions of Sŏn competed for dominance.
