Paul O'Rourke's papyrus catalog 8/15/16
Lot 1, first group: from an illustrated prophylactic text. A large but damaged vignette shows a standing Thoth with the remnants of a column of text before and behind him. The vignette is from the bottom of the papyrus. The word pr-aA written occurs as does the phrase [i]Ad.t rnp.t: pestilence of the year. The second group: different text with uncertain content; third group: fragments from the bottom of the box are too damaged to offer insight.
Lot 2: a single layered fragment belonging to 47.218.75 + .86.
Lot 3: small fragments, two with cursive hieroglyphs (i.e. Book of the Dead?) and one with a partial vignette. That latter may belong to 47.218.87A.
Lot 4: Appears to be from a prophylactic text.
Lot 5: fragments, seemingly all not from the same text, of uncertain content.
Lot 6: fragments from a number of different texts. At least 4 of the largest fragments belong together. Prophylactic and medical in content.
Lot 7: 3 fragments, two with text and one with a partial vignette, of uncertain content.
Lot 8: fragments from different texts; at least 1 fragment belongs to 47.218.87A.
Lot 9: 14 small fragments from different texts of uncertain content.
Broken Roll: Seemingly not a Book of the Dead. May be important text. Should be photographed for study.Period: Style suggests early Dynasty XVIII (?). Measurements: Height, c. 13.5 cm.
