About the Book

English summary: In Egyptology, monographs on deities are an important genre, since they collect crucial information on individual deities. Yet those studies - particularly on more significant deities - are also difficult to write, because an analysis can be buried under the vast evidence if it is just catalogued. A god as prominent as Thoth, who is generally and simplistically characterized as a scribal god and a god of wisdom, has not yet been studied in detail. Martin A. Stadler explores new methodologies in combining Thoth with an exegesis of a substantial part of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. He aims at explaining the relevant spells of this central religious corpus as coherent compositions. This is the first approach of this nature, in which an author points out the non-European logic in Egyptian religious thinking. The specific position of the Book of the Dead within Egyptian written sources also allows it to study Thoth throughout Egyptian history. German description: In der Agyptologie sind Gottermonographien ein wichtiges Genre, in dem wesentliche Erkenntnisse zu einzelnen Gottheiten zusammengefasst werden. Doch sind Gottermonographien auch ein recht heikles Feld, da gerade fur die bedeutenderen Gottheiten solche Studien in einem Katalog zu ersticken drohen, der die Quellen additiv nebeneinander stellt. Eingrenzungen sind daher notig, die konventionell nach Epochen vorgenommen werden. Dies ist ein durchaus problematisches Vorgehen, da so Entwicklungslinien abgeschnitten werden. Ein prominenter altagyptischer Gott wie Thot, der gern vereinfachend als Schreiber- und Weisheitsgott charakterisiert wird, ist deshalb in jungerer Zeit nicht mehr umfassend untersucht worden. Martin A. Stadler zeichnet ein differenzierteres Bild von Thots vielfaltigerem Wesen und schlagt dazu einen neuen methodischen Weg ein. Gegenuber den konventionellen agyptologischen Gottermonographien mochte er nicht nur eine der wichtigsten Gottheiten Agyptens untersuchen, sondern auch mit einem totenbuchexegetischen Ansatz zahlreiche Spruche eines zentralen agyptischen religiosen Textcorpus als koharente Kompositionen erklaren, worauf in der Agyptologie allzu haufig unter Verweis auf die andersgeartete Logik im agyptischen religiosen Denken verzichtet worden ist. Die spezifische Stellung des Totenbuchs innerhalb des religiosen Schrifttums Agyptens ermoglicht daruber hinaus, das Wesen Thots nicht nur auf einen Ausschnitt beschrankt, sondern uber die gesamte altagyptische Religionsgeschichte hinweg zu untersuchen.
