Les colophons dans la littérature égyptienne.

The colophons in Egyptian literature are found from the XIIth dynasty to the Roman Period. Most of the time, we find them in literary texts, Books of the Dead, and late ritual texts. The use of colophons varies according to the period and the nature of the text. This article offers an explanation for the expression ỉw.f pw and its variants, which are found at the end of various manuscripts, and tracks the evolution of this expression.
