Author Description

This book presents the scientific contributions of forty-three authors gathered in order to celebrate Christiane Zivie-Coche. Holder of the chair of Egyptian religion at the Ecole pratique des hautes etudes, Section des Sciences religieuses, in Paris, from 1992 to 2015, Christiane Zivie-Coche left her mark on Egyptological studies in this field and trained several generations of Egyptologists. Also active in the field, from Louqsor to Tanis, via the Memphite area, she has published fundamental studies on subjects as varied as Giza in the second and first millennium B.C. or late Theban theologies, to name but a few. Former students, colleagues and friends - sometimes all three - Egyptologists, Hellenists, historians of religions, all wished to pay tribute here to the science of the recipient, and to her generosity, in research as in life. The articles address Christiane Zivie-Coches favorite themes, Egyptian religion, of course, in all its forms and at all times, but also kingship, geography, the history of the Late Period and historiography; the variety of topics covered echoes the breadth of her curiosities.
