Document Details : Title: Études de métrique égyptienne Subtitle: II. Contraintes métriques et production textuelle dans l'Hymne à la crue du Nil Author(s): MATHIEU, Bernard Journal: Revue d'Égyptologie Volume: 41 Date: 1990 Pages: 127-141 DOI: 10.2143/RE.41.0.2011316 Abstract : The aim of this article is to bring up some aspects of textual production in the well known Hymn to the Inundation, on the basis of a metrical pattern dealt with in RdE 39 (1989), 63-82, the heptametrical distich. Several poetic devices are described, such as ellipsis, paddings, doublings, reduplications, which can now be explained for metrical reasons. A translation of the Hymn is provided, showing the metrical structure of the whole text. |
