Abstract
El objeto de estudio de esta tesis son las comunidades de profesionales funerarios durante el período ptolemaico a partir de la documentación papirológica. Con el término profesionales funerarios se designa en este trabajo a aquellos individuos que participan en la momificación de un cadáver humano, enterramiento y culto funerario. En este estudio se reúne por primera vez todo el material documental que una vez estos profesionales habrían custodiado para llevar a cabo un análisis sobre la estructura y dinámicas sociales del personal de la industria funeraria, así como del impacto del establecimiento de una monarquía griega y las respuestas a algunas de las transformaciones en los planos socioeconómico y legal que tienen lugar tras la llegada de los griegos a Egipto. Estas comunidades no han sido hasta la fecha objeto de un estudio sistemático sino de trabajos parciales y a menudo con un enfoque muy local. Se han reunido por tanto veinticuatro archivos familiares y personales monolingües y bilingües que una vez pertenecieron a los profesionales funerarios que a lo largo de los siglos III a I a. C. estuvieron activos en las necrópolis de Tebas, el nomo cinopolita, Hawara, Tanis y Menfis. A través del examen de estas fuentes tratamos de ofrecer una respuesta a dos cuestiones: en primer lugar, cómo fueron las relaciones entre los miembros de la comunidad de la necrópolis y, en segundo lugar, cómo se articulan las relaciones de los profesionales funerarios tanto con la nueva administración real como con el resto de la sociedad en general...
The purpose of this dissertation is the study of the communities of funerary workers as attested in the papyrological documentary sources from Ptolemaic Egypt. The term «funerary workers» specifically refers to those individuals who participated in the preparation of dead bodies, their burial as well as the ritual care after burial. This study has brought together the documentary sources that these individuals once kept in their private archives in order to cast some light on the structure and social dynamics of the necropolis personnel, the impact on these communities of the establishment of a Greek monarchy, as well as their response to some of the transformations that might have taken place in both the socioeconomic and legal spheres. The funerary workers have not yet been the object of/subjected to a systematic study, but have been typically approached by modern scholars with a local and often partial focus. In order to fill this gap in modern scholarship, I have put together twenty-four private archives, personal and familiar, monolingual or bilingual, that once belonged to the funerary workers who worked in the necropoleis in Thebes, the Kynopolite nome, Hawara, Tanis and the Memphite nome. Through the analysis of the documentary sources they kept in their archives this essay tries to answer two interrelated questions: first, the nature of the relations between the members of the necropolis personnel, and second, the extension, quality and nature of the relations between the funerary workers with the society at large...
