Die Prostagmata der Ptolemäer

The study discusses Ptolemaic particular legislation on military administration, agriculture, land distribution, procedural law, administrative law, official discipline, and cult landscape, and discusses the right of asylum and the phenomenon of amnesty in its Egyptian manifestation. It traces the intentions and lines of the rulers diachronically, but also points out problem areas and the limits of the informative value of the tradition. In addition, she discusses the genesis, publication and reception of the legal texts. In this way, she provides the reader with insights into their effects on the Egyptian administrative and living reality and thus combines political history with microhistory.
