Abstract

The Demotic Book of Thoth has received surprisingly little attention in exegetical research, although it was a well-known text in Late Period Egypt. Since the Book of Thoth and Prov 1–9 are closely related in terms of dating, cultural background, and genre, a comparison of these two texts is overdue. To address this oversight, this article examines and compares the main female figures of both works: the goddess Seshat and Lady Wisdom. Previous research has pointed to Maat and Isis as archetypes of Lady Wisdom, but this article argues that Seshat must be considered as another goddess who exerted influence on the figure of Lady Wisdom.

Seshat和Lady Wisdom

令人惊讶的是，在训诂学研究中，《透特民书》受到的关注很少，尽管它在埃及晚期是一部著名的文本。由于《透特书》和《箴言》1-9在年代、文化背景和体裁方面密切相关，对这两个文本进行比较是迟来的。为了解决这一疏忽，本文研究并比较了两部作品中的主要女性形象:女神Seshat和智慧女神。先前的研究指出Maat和Isis是智慧女神的原型，但本文认为Seshat必须被认为是另一个对智慧女神的形象产生影响的女神。
