[en] In this paper, we first provide a revised hieroglyphic transcription, an annotated trans- lation and comments on the content and motivations for composing this hymn to Ptah. In a second step, we situate the text within the growing corpus of Amennakhte’s literary compositions. We then contextualize the hymn among the scribe’s expres- sions of religious piety and discuss the Sitz im Leben of this particular hymn. Finally, we argue that this text is likely to be an autograph. As such, the date of copy can be used as a chronologically fixed point for the analysis of Amennakhte’s handwriting.
