Document Details : Title: Marginalia Ornitologica II Author(s): BOJOWALD, Stefan Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 22 Date: 2023 Pages: 275-281 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.22.0.3292254 Abstract : In this contribution, two Egyptian text passages are treated. In the first case, a new interpretation for pHarris 500 recto 1, 10 is developed. The passage is compared with a love poem of the Arabian poet Ibn Sahl from the 13th century AD. The falcon pouncing on prey is chosen in both cases as a symbol for speed. In the second case, a new detail of oDem 1675 vs 13/14 is highlighted. A Qasida of the early Arabian poet 'Almaqa is used for comparison. In both texts, a typical behaviour of the ostrich is illuminated. |
