Marking the 65th birthday of Professor Tamás A. Bács, this collection of thirty-four essays, written by friends, colleagues and former students — including many world-renowned academics — serves as a timely recognition of the career and achievements of one of Hungary’s most distinguished and well-respected Egyptologists. Many of the contributions presented in this Festschrift volume are devoted to the exploration of themes which are closely aligned with Professor Bács’s own main research areas — the royal and private necropoleis of Thebes and the art of ancient Egypt. These contributions include a wealth of new archaeological discoveries, unpublished material, and new interpretations and perspectives concerning a wide range of subjects. The volume is abundantly illustrated with colour photographs, maps and line drawings.
