- Abstract
Marcel Kühnemund's book, "Die rituelle Reinheit in den Tempeln der griechisch-römischen Zeit," fills a gap in the field of Egyptology and Ptolemaic studies. The book explores the concept of ritual purity in Greek and Roman temples in ancient Egypt, focusing on twelve locations and thirty cycles of temple texts and iconographic representations. The author argues that ritual purity is not only about cleanliness but also about the transformation of individuals and objects into a divine sphere. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the topic and includes primary sources, making it a valuable resource for researchers in various disciplines.
