The Bulletin of the French Institute of Oriental Archaeology (BIFAO) covers all fields of Egyptology since its first publication in 1901. The studies published therein, whose chronological scope extends from predynastic Egypt to the Byzantine period, illustrate the state of current research in the fields of archaeology, epigraphy, lexicography, iconography, religion and philology. Among the 14 contributions that make up BIFAO 120, we should mention the publication of two unpublished monuments (a Roman tomb and a stele from the 18th dynasty) and a papyrus (from the Edfu jar), as well as three studies on Deir el-Medina (including one on fragments belonging to the group of documents from the "Stato civile"). Various thematic studies are proposed, notably on the transmission of the Book of Amduat from the Third Intermediate Period to the Late Period, the function – revisited – of the “sanatorium of Dendara, the renep priests and the other priesthoods of Imaou, or even the place of the asterism of the Chariot in the hieroglyphic sources.
