- The research output is a monograph of more than 750,000 words and 200 plates comprising over 1,000 figures (i.e. more than one standard monograph by quantitative standards). It represents the result of a decade of complex, demanding and elaborate research that involved the personal study and documentation of about 100 artefacts dispersed over more than two dozen museum collections around the world, as well as monuments still on site in Egypt. The task of getting access to all the relevant material in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo alone took more than three years.

- English abstract
- The book's title can be translated as ‘Memphis in the Third Intermediate Period: a study of the (self-)representation of elites during the 21st and 22nd Dynasties’. It is concerned with the monumental display of identity and personhood by members of the local elite in the ancient Egyptian metropolis of Memphis from the 11th to the early 8th centuries BC. The study aims at a holistic view of the subject by utilising archaeological, art historical, philological, sociological and anthropological methodologies and providing an integration of micro- and macro-perspectives through the careful contextualisation of the primary sources.<br/>
