Temples of Ancient Egypt - Arnold, Dieter a Haeny, Gerhard a Bell, Lanny a Bjerre Finnestad, Ragnhild

A comprehensive survey of ancient Egyptian temples and rituals associated with their use. Shafer - a renowned Egyptologist - covers the entire pharaonic era, from the Old Kingdom to the Roman period, and challenges the idea that temples were either 'mortuary' or 'divine', showing instead that their functions were varied.
