Causing His Name to Live: Studies in Egyptian Epigraphy and History in Memory of William J. Murnane
Culture and History of the Ancient Near East Volume 37

William J. Murnane (1945-2000) dedicated his life to the epigraphic recording and historical interpretation of the monuments of pharaonic Egypt. In tribute to his important contributions to Egyptology, a prominent group of his colleagues and students offer a range of new studies on Egyptian epigraphy and historiography. Amarna studies loom large in the volume as they did in Murnane's own work. Several chapters investigate the art, history and chronology of the reigns of Akhenaten and his immediate successors. Other contributions deal with historical issues, especially those connected with the epigraphic and archaeological aspects of the Theban temples of Karnak and Luxor. The book is richly illustrated with photographs and drawings.

Through the generosity of E. J. Brill, all of the content of the book Causing His Name to Live will remain available here for free public use. Although the content is the same, the typesetting and formatting of the material on this website differs from that of the printed book.

  1. It is devious that they changed the typsetting and formatting from the printed edition which means you cannot cite it and will be forced still to acquire the $179 version in order to cite the appropriate page.

  2. It's not devious at all, type and format are the components of the publication that Brill claims as its own and will not allow online.

    Why can't a person cite the online version?

  3. As a contributor to this volume, I was delighted that it remained available online in addition to being traditionally published. The printed version did not allow for the many color photographs that I included in my article (they are b&w in the publication), but the color images are included in the digital version, so people have an option. Open access brings so many benefits!

  4. Excellent point Amy, and it makes the online version the more complete version, and therefore the preferable one to cite!
