- Abstract
The article "À propos du titre jry nfr- ḥȝ. t, « préposé à celui à l'avant parfait »" examines the title jry nfr- ḥȝ. t in ancient Egypt. The goal is to identify all individuals who held this title from the Old Kingdom to the Late Period. The investigation of the individuals who held this title can help understand the meaning of the expression jry nfr- ḥȝ. t. The article also includes an etymological analysis of the title and a list of the individuals who held it. The title was widespread during the 5th and 6th dynasties in the Memphis region and later used in the provinces as well. In the New Kingdom, only two individuals held this title, including Sénenmout, who was closely associated with Queen Hatshepsut. In the Saite period, the title is held by Haroua and Horménekhib, who have close connections to royal authority. In the Ptolemaic period, the title no longer has significance but is mentioned as one of the seven creation words of the goddess Neith. The title is also used in connection with the goddess Tasentnéféret. There are various interpretations of the title, including its meaning as a wig or as a designation for the wearer of the diadem in royal attire. This study examines the title "jry nfr- ḥȝ. t" and its bearers. It is determined that this title is associated with the king and his court and is associated with the care of the royal headdress. The bearers of the title could be either hairdressers or stylists. The title "jry nfr- ḥȝ. t" has been used since the 5th Dynasty and was associated with political-religious functions. In the Saite period, the title was also bestowed upon relatives of the divine worshippers. The title was mainly used in connection with royal temples and cults. The article includes a list of references to various publications and research works in the field of Egyptian archaeology and Egyptology. It lists various authors, books, and journal articles that deal with topics such as Egyptian statues, theology, Egyptian dictionaries, excavations in Giza and Saqqara, official titles in the Old Kingdom, hieroglyphic texts, and other Egyptian subjects. It also features some illustrations of Egyptian artifacts.
