‎<meta charset="utf-8"><p data-mce-fragment="1">Birth Houses (<em data-mce-fragment="1">Mammisis</em>) are important components of late Egyptian temple complexes but have not been investigated in detail since the fundamental study of François Daumas published in 1958. In the meantime, new archaeological findings as well as re-evaluations of theology and piety in Greco-Roman Egypt have considerably expanded our traditional understanding of these extraordinary buildings. Therefore, reassessment of phenomena and expanded research approaches need to be undertaken.</p><p data-mce-fragment="1">This book presents the printed versions of the lectures given by international Egyptologists at the IFAO in Cairo on March 27-28, 2019, as part of the 1st Colloquium on “<em data-mce-fragment="1">Mammisis<span data-mce-fragment="1"></span></em>of Egypt”. In the publication, criteria and reconsiderations are put up for discussion that can be decisive for the identification and definition of<span data-mce-fragment="1"></span><em data-mce-fragment="1">Mammisis</em>. The spectrum of topics ranges from theological basics (including the significant birth cycle) and typical features, through historical development and cultic events, to the architecture of these temple buildings. Special motifs, theoretical and iconographic concepts and finally the persistence of certain rites in modern Egypt are also covered. One chapter introduces current scientific projects and their methods that are dedicated to selected<span data-mce-fragment="1"></span><em data-mce-fragment="1">mammisis</em><span data-mce-fragment="1"></span>or chapels (Coptos, Deir el-Medina, Edfu, Kom Ombo, Philae, Bahariya, Kellis, Jebel Barkal).</p><p data-mce-fragment="1"><span data-mce-fragment="1">Numerous illustrations complement the contributions.
