Persons and Names of the Middle Kingdom

The online database “Persons and Names of the Middle Kingdom” (PNM) is developed as part of the project “Umformung und Variabilität im Korpus altägyptischer Personennamen 2055–1550 v. Chr.”, funded by the Fritz Thyssen Foundation. The database is under development and should eventually cover Egyptian Middle Kingdom personal names, people, written sources, titles, and dossiers of persons attested in various sources. The preliminary version currently available online is limited to Second Intermediate Period sources (14th–17th Dynasties).
