This volume covers the numerous small lists of feasts that occur mainly on stelae and in tombs.
A chronological study is presented wherein the major phases of Pharaonic Egypt (Old Kingdom to
the Ptolemaic Period) are covered. Questions of dating these inscriptions as well as reasons
concerning alterations in the lists form a major part of the discussion. In particular
differences in arrangement of these private celebrations both within a specific time period as
well as between eras provide causes for the alterations of religious patterns of a non-royal
sort. Calendrical ideas are likewise surveyed although for the most part the aim of this study
remains focused upon the religious events themselves.Material of an ancillary nature (including
some data from royal inscriptions) will be found only when they provide light upon the private
religious practices.
