This commentary is the final installment in the series devoted to the unpublished jar labels from the Strasbourg Institute of Egyptology, which were discovered by J.E. Quibell at the Ramesseum during the winter of 1895-1896. Its aim is to provide a working tool that will facilitate, in the future, the study of wine jar labels unearthed in the funerary temple, or temple "of millions of years," of Ramesses II: thus, all the published documentation from this site has been implemented. First, the history of these documents and their dispersal among different institutions is presented. The central part is devoted to a new typology of the Ramesseum wine jar labels: the texts are gathered into groups divided into formulas, and the criteria for classifying incomplete documents are detailed. Finally, the last part constitutes the commentary itself, addressing each category of information indicated by the labels. An excursus putting into perspective the context of discovery of the documents and their content, transcription notes, as well as a series of clues, devoted to the labels and their commentary, are presented at the end of the work.
