Quelques manuscrits hiératiques du Livre des Morts de la Troisième Période intermédiaire du musée égyptien de Turin.

This article briefly describes a group of thirteen hieratic papyri of the Egyptian Museum of Turin. These papyri have similar characteristics. In addition to the hieratic scripts, they all have an initial and single etiquette, which represents the deceased adoring a divinity, and which contains chapters of the Book of the Dead. The presentation of a list of the well-dated papyri of the Third Intermediate Period – which mostly come from the different cachettes of Deir el-Bahari – will help us in studying the paleography, the etiquette, the sequences of the chapters of the Book of the Dead during this period, in order to try to place them in a social and historical context.
