Les chapelles des tombes priv\u00e9es memphites de l\u2019Ancien Empire, surtout connues pour leur majestueux d\u00e9cor int\u00e9rieur grav\u00e9 et peint, pr\u00e9sentaient \u00e9galement des inscriptions et repr\u00e9sentations en fa\u00e7ade, tout particuli\u00e8rement \u00e0 partir de la V e dynastie. La fa\u00e7ade et son d\u00e9cor fa\u00e7onnaient ainsi un espace de rencontre entre les personnes qui se d\u00e9pla\u00e7aient dans la n\u00e9cropole pour des raisons cultuelles et le d\u00e9funt c\u00e9l\u00e9br\u00e9 dans son propre monument fun\u00e9raire.<\/p>\n
Ce travail aborde cet espace relativement d\u00e9laiss\u00e9 par la litt\u00e9rature \u00e9gyptologique, en le repla\u00e7ant dans son contexte architectural et paysager pour mieux en comprendre le fonctionnement. Il analyse la mise en espace et l\u2019\u00e9volution des multiples strat\u00e9gies architecturales, textuelles et iconographiques d\u00e9ploy\u00e9es sur les fa\u00e7ades de l\u2019Ancien Empire. Entre affichage ostentatoire d\u2019une identit\u00e9 sociale et volont\u00e9 d\u2019attirer les multiples passants, le d\u00e9cor des fa\u00e7ades des tombes memphites appara\u00eet ainsi comme un investissement mat\u00e9riel essentiel pour assurer la survie du culte fun\u00e9raire du d\u00e9funt.<\/p>\n

In ancient Egypt, private tombs are monuments intended for both the living and the dead, a twofold purpose that is very specifically expressed through the fa\u00e7ade area, which constitutes the first visual element of the monument accessible to external beholders. This fa\u00e7ade is very often the support of an elaborate \u201cdecorative program\u201d, formed by the interrelation between pictorial representations and hieroglyphic inscriptions, displayed in an architecturally and environmentally specific context. The purpose of the present book is to analyze the communicational function of such a program when it is presented on a fa\u00e7ade, both through the intention of the designer and through its reception by an \u201cideal beholder\u201d, using Memphite tombs of the Old Kingdom, from the 4th to the 8th dynasties. Based on a corpus of 137 private tomb fa\u00e7ades, this monograph identifies the main chronological evolution trends of this particular space and its inscriptions (text and image) throughout the Old Kingdom. Then, the fa\u00e7ade is contextualized within its built and natural landscape environment, in order to highlight the layout and display of its iconographic, textual and architectural rhetorical strategies. Private tombs fa\u00e7ades are analyzed from the point of view of the designer (as displaying the social and individual identity of the deceased), and from their reception by hypothetical beholders (as an area aesthetically designed in order to attract people to the tomb chapel and entice them to act).<\/p>\n
