Abstract

The volume "Knowledge and Memory" serves as an appreciation of the career and achievements of Professor Ladislav Bareš on the occasion of his 70th birthday. The notions knowledge and memory correspond perfectly to the central focus of the religious and magical spells from the Late Period shaft tombs in Abusir, a subject that has always been close to the heart and mind of Ladislav Bareš.

A collection of thirty-three papers, written by former students, numerous colleagues and friends, are hence devoted to themes closely aligned with Professor Bareš' lifelong interest: the Memphite necropolis throughout the ages, and the Late Period (and beyond) throughout the whole of Egypt.
