The cone lists Ramoseโ€™s titles, including two interesting ones, in column 3 (and highlighted in the second image with a blue box). These titles are ir.ty-nswt โ€œeyes of the King of Upper Egyptโ€ and anx.wy-bi.ty โ€œears of the King of Lower Egyptโ€. (2/2)

This funerary cone belonged to a royal scribe called Ramose, who lived during the reign of Taharqa (25th Dynasty). The name of the king appears in a cartouche in the fourth column, followed by that of Ramose. Both are identified as mAa-xrw โ€œjustifiedโ€, indicating that they were deceased. (1/2)

Para los interesados en la gramรกtica, se trata de un predicado adverbial con sujeto nominal, introducido por la forma sDm=f subjuntiva del verbo wnn, que permite que el predicado adverbial tenga la connotaciรณn de deseo.

A few days ago, I found a #manicule on the margin of my copy of Giambattista della Portaโ€™s De Furtivis Literarum Notis (1563), and I asked for bibliography that would allow me to learn more about manicule typologies. Several people recommended Shermanโ€™s Used Books. Thanks a lot! ๐Ÿ“š

โ˜ž I have a special thing for manicules. What was my surprise yesterday, as I was exploring my new book, when I found this little manicule! Iโ€™m in love!

By the way, are there any typological studies of manicules that could allow me to date it?

Ozymandias

I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: โ€œTwo vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
โ€˜My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!โ€™
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.โ€
