Papyrus AMS 23b (pLeiden I 347) gibt den bisher langsten bekannten magisch-hymnischen Text zu der falkenkopfigen Krokodilgottheit Horus imi-Schenut wieder und wird nun von Susanne Beck in einer zeitgemassen Edition vorgestellt. Der erste Teil der Publikation enthalt zunachst grundsatzliche Informationen zum Manuskript, bevor auf die zahlreichen Abweichungen und Korrekturen im Papyrus eingegangen wird. Anschliessend wird die Struktur des Textes untersucht und die verschiedenen Motive im Manuskript werden vorgestellt. Den Hauptteil bilden allerdings die Transkription, Ubersetzung und der ausfuhrliche philologische und inhaltliche Kommentar von Papyrus AMS 23b. Der zweite Teil der Publikation ist der Gottheit Horus imi-Schenut gewidmet, die zumeist als falkenkopfiges Krokodil erscheint und noch nie umfassend untersucht worden ist. Nach einem Uberblick uber die Belege werden die Lesung des Beinamens imi-Schenut, sein Kult und seine Priesterschaft ausfuhrlich diskutiert. Anschliessend geht die Autorin auf die vielschichtige Natur dieser Gottheit ein. Ein Katalog mit den Belegen und Abbildungen zu Horus imi-Schenut, eine Palaografie, ein Glossar, eine synoptische Zusammenstellung der Paralleltexte und ein Tafelteil zu Papyrus AMS 23b runden die Publikation ab.

The Near Eastern demon Samanu, known as Achu in the Egyptian tradition, is attested in numerous Mesopotamian and Egyptian sources. In this study, the various aspects of the demon - he is known to afflict gods, human beings, animals, plants, and rivers - are analyzed and potential identifications are proposed from a contemporary perspective. The study also focuses on the transfer of knowledge concerning Samanu from the Near East to Egypt. All known texts in the Sumerian, Akkadian, and Egyptian languages are compiled in this book and presented in transcription and translation and are accompanied by commentaries. Egyptian texts are additionally presented in hieroglyphs.

Exorcism, illness and demons in an ancient Near Eastern context: The Egyptian magical Papyrus Leiden I 343 + 345 (Papers on Archaeology of the Leiden Museum of Antiquities)

Papyrus Leiden I 343 + 345 is one of the most extraordinary manuscripts providing a deeper insight into magic and medicine in Ancient Egypt. The main part of the papyrus deals with the ancient Near Eastern disease demon Sāmānu, who is well known from Sumerian and Akkadian incantations and medical texts. In addition, a broad range of other conjurations and spells against any pain and feet swelling are included. The papyrus also contains two curious spells dealing with ‘falling water from the sky.' Eight out of fourteen incantations against the demon Sāmānu were incorporated twice in this papyrus. The texts are not only presented as parallel text edition but also with photographs of the papyrus. This re-edition of Papyrus Leiden I 343 + 345 is a revised transliteration, transcription, translation and up-to-date commentary.
