The Valley of the Kings is one of the most famous and to a certain extent also one of the most prestigious archaeological sites in Egypt with several almost intact tombs discovered over the last 120 years. In contrast to the importance of the place, there are surprisingly few final excavation reports. Excavation results have most often been presented in short preliminary reports, leaving many questions open for an evaluation of what was found. The book under review helps to fill this gap. It is a full assessment of the objects from the burial of the Eighteenth Dynasty official Maiherperi discovered in 1899 by Victor Loret who was never able to present his excavation records in a published form. For a long time, the main source for reconstructing the arrangement of objects in the burial chamber were short notes by Georg Schweinfurth who was present when the tomb was discovered. The field notes by Loret himself were only published in 2004,1 at which point it finally became possible to evaluate not only the individual objects, but the tomb group and its spatial arrangement as a whole. Several objects have been misplaced since the discovery, and others are in a much worse condition than when first found, highlighting again the urgency of good recording and publication of such assemblages. The volume presents all objects from the tomb that were accessible for documentation at the time of this research.2 Most of them are now on display in the Egyptian Museum at Cairo, previously published in a Catalogue Général volume.3 The new book goes into much greater detail, including a full description of all objects, colour images for most, and about 30 drawings. Hieroglyphic and hieratic texts on the objects are presented in typeset hieroglyphs, transliteration and translation. In particular, the Maiherperi copy of the Book of the Dead receives a full new translation; in this

书评：“Der Löwe auf dem Schlachtfeld”。Das Grab KV 36 和 die Bestattung des Maiherperi im Tal der Könige

帝王谷是埃及最著名的考古遗址之一，在某种程度上也是埃及最负盛名的考古遗址之一，在过去的 120 年里发现了几座几乎完好无损的墓葬。与这个地方的重要性相比，令人惊讶的是，最终的发掘报告很少。挖掘结果通常以简短的初步报告形式呈现，留下许多问题需要评估发现的内容。正在审查的书有助于填补这一空白。这是对 1899 年维克多·洛雷特 (Victor Loret) 发现的第十八王朝官员迈赫佩里 (Maiherperi) 墓葬物品的全面评估，他从未能够以已出版的形式展示他的挖掘记录。许久，重建墓室中物品排列的主要来源是 Georg Schweinfurth 的简短笔记，他在坟墓被发现时在场。洛雷特本人的田野笔记仅在 2004 年发表，1 那时终于有可能不仅评估单个物体，而且评估墓群及其整体空间布局。自发现以来，有几件物品被放错了地方，其他物品的状况比最初发现时要糟糕得多，这再次凸显了对此类组合进行良好记录和出版的紧迫性。该卷展示了在本次研究时可用于记录的墓葬中的所有物品。2 其中大部分现在在开罗的埃及博物馆展出，之前在目录总册中出版过。3 新书更详细，包括对所有物体的完整描述、大多数彩色图像和大约 30 幅图画。对象上的象形文字和圣体文字以排版象形文字、音译和翻译形式呈现。特别是，死亡之书的 Maiherperi 副本获得了全新的翻译；在这
