Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references
The cultural and historical setting of the Near East provides a unique opportunity
to study a longer usage of sealing practices in administration and magic, which extends
beyond the constraints of a specific time period or region. Comparing ancient practices
with more recent ones can offer important insights into the development of sealing
practices and provide answers to specific questions related to the handling of seals
and the social status of the seal bearer. Since the initiative towards the workshop
was taken by staff members of the NVIC, the focus was on Egypt but other cultures
in the Near East and Central Asia were also considered. Following up on the workshop,
the present volume retains the geographical and chronological scope, but added a few
contributions dealing with the Greco-Roman and Byzantine periods. Glancing at the
content, the reader will be struck by the diachronic and spatial persistence of the
use of seals for administrative and other purposes, and by their multi-functionality
