Des travaux récents dans le secteur nord-est de la grande enceinte du temple de Karnak ont révélé l’existence de catacombes osiriennes dans cette zone et permis une meilleure compréhension de la structure d’un tel tombeau, uniquement connue jusqu’à présent par des témoignages textuels et iconographiques À partir de ces découvertes, cette contribution vise à présenter les éléments nouveaux qu’elles apportent concernant la nature et le déroulement des rites de deuil durant les fêtes d’Osiris au mois de Khoïak. Tout d’abord, la reconstitution de la décoration des catacombes d’époque ptolémaïque a permis de mettre en évidence certaines scènes montrant des déesses pleureuses manifestant leur deuil devant Osiris. Les textes qui s’y rapportent montrent d’intéressants parallèles avec les rites de deuil inclus dans les liturgies appelées Stundenwachen. Dans un second temps, le contexte de récitation de ces rituels de deuil est envisagé, à travers la comparaison entre les témoignages archéologiques et les sources textuelles se rapportant à ce cimetière osirien. Ainsi, un lien peut être établi entre la restauration d’une chapelle osirienne à proximité du tombeau d’Osiris et l'activité d'un prêtre nommé Nesmin, propriétaire de certains papyrus contenant des rituels de deuil récités pendant la fête de Khoïak.

Evidence for the Cult of Osiris at Karnak during the Greco-Roman Period: The Excavations in front of the 1st Pylon , 2023. Current Research in Egyptology 2022. Proceedings of the 22nd Symposium, UPVM3, 26-30 Sept. 2022, Archaeopress/CENiM 36, Oxford-Montpellier.2023 •
The excavations carried out in front of the 1st pylon of Karnak Temple revealed a great embankment of sandstone blocks, public and private Ptolemaic baths, as well as a large bath complex that has been dated to the Roman era. Many mud-brick structures were found north and south of the Ptolemaic bath. This excavation (2011-2013) brought to light a large number of objects which were preserved in the local temple storeroom at Karnak, including a reused limestone funerary stela which discovered inside one of the rooms north of the Roman bath; one of the registers on this shows the owner burning incense in front of the god Osiris, Lord of Eternity. Other finds included bronze statues and faience amulets of Osiris, representing the god in his standard iconography with a mummified form, standing or seated, wearing a false beard and the atef-crown. These were found in domestic contexts assigned to the Greco-Roman Period and may have been used for votive practices inside these houses by their owners. These finds can be considered as important evidence confirming the continuation of the existence of popular cults of Osiris at this period. This contribution seeks to present valuable insights into the cult of Osiris and to investigate the everyday religious beliefs and practices of ordinary people associated with his cult in Greco-Roman Period in this area.

Osirian Materia Sacra: A Glance from Corn-Mummies2024 •
This article is an open access article distributed under the terms and conditions of the Creative Commons Attribution CC by license Corn mummies, i.e., miniature pseudo-mummies, made of a mixture of sand and cereal grains, with Osirian iconography, can provide a useful perspective from which to look at the complex nature of Osiris and his cult. Despite having been a well-researched subject at least since the 1980s, they still deserve attention. This study re-examines the known contexts, anticipates the dating of the earliest known artefacts, and analyses their relationship with other categories of related objects, such as the so-called “Osiris beds” and “Osiris bricks”. Although all these artefacts are linked to the rites of Khoiak and share a common conceptual background, the author proposes to distinguish between a cultic tradition and a funerary one. Corn mummies fit into the former strand, as images of the dead god embalmed, prefiguring his rebirth through the sprouting grain. Their main meaning seems to be related to the idea of the rebirth of nature and vegetation rather than to the hope in resurrection. In contrast, “Osiris beds” were aimed to revive an individualized Osiris, i.e., the deceased. Keywords: Egyptian religion; Osiris; corn-mummies; sprouted grain; Khoiak rites; Osiris beds; Osiris bricks

This collection of 15 essays throws light on the large and oft-neglected corpus of Osiris liturgies. These texts preserve the incantations and instructions for rituals performed in the temple cult of Osiris, the Egyptian god of death and regeneration. Although composed for use in state-sponsored temples, most copies have been found in private burials of the Late and Greco-Roman periods, inscribed on the walls of tombs and sarcophagi or on papyrus scrolls. The preserved copies offer thus not only precious information about the cult of Osiris, but also about transformations in equipping the dead with funerary texts in these later periods of pharaonic history. The essays of this volume, in English, German, and French, explore this interface of temple and tomb. They offer reflections on methodology, showcase new approaches, and examine the scribal culture that produced these documents. Well-known compositions such as the Sakhu or Glorification Rituals, the Embalming Ritual, and the Mouth Opening Ritual are discussed as well as new inscriptions and papyri that remain unedited to this day. Together these essays add to our understanding of the production and use of funerary texts, old and new, in late Pharaonic and Greco-Roman Egypt.
