Style Guidelines
1
Manuscripts should be submitted in Microsoft Word compatible format. The author should use Word file formats and a 12-points Times New Roman font; manuscripts should be typed with single-line spacing and left-justified. Use the indentation default for Word and do not add extra spaces between paragraphs (unless before and after the subsections of the article).
Please keep all formatting of your text to a minimum, except for those changes necessary regarding the use of Transliteration, Greek and Coptic fonts. Note that small capitals should not be used in the manuscript, except in the bibliography.
Introductory paragraphs should not be set under the heading “Introduction”. Do not number the Conclusions’ section either. For more than three levels of subheadings, the following format should be used: 1.2.1.a), 1.2.1.b), 1.2.1.c).
The use of hyphens and quotation marks (“x”, « x », „x”) should follow the conventions of the language in which the article is written.
For manuscripts written in English, the ensuing guidelines should be followed by the author:
2
Use footnotes for the text (rather than in-text or parenthetical citations) and provide the full corresponding bibliographic references in a Bibliography at the end of your article. Number all footnotes consecutively, beginning with 1, and use the default mode Word (superscript); footnotes must be placed after any punctuation mark (they will precede punctuation marks in contributions written in Spanish or French). The text of the footnotes must be set in 10-point Times New Roman type, simple-spaced and left-justified.
The following formatting must be always used for footnotes: author date: page(s). “Ibidem” or “op. cit.” may not be used. Look at the examples:
1 Parkinson 1997: 16–17.
2 Bonhême and Forgeau 1995: 45.
3 Belmonte, Shaltout and Fekri 2005: pl. 3.
4 Goyon et alii 2004: 65. [In case of more than three authors, all authors should be cited within the Bibliography]
This format should always be used: author date: page(s). Do not use ibidem or op. cit.
If several works are cited in a footnote, the order should be from the earliest to the latest reference, separating them by semicolons: Parkinson 1999; Ryholt 2000; Hagen 2010.
If several works of the same author are cited, do not repeat the name and separate the years by commas: Parkinson 1997, 2000, 2017; Vernus 2019; Parkinson 2020.
If the footnote refers to the whole article, indicate only author and year, without pages (these are cited in the bibliography). If it refers to a specific part of the article, indicate the page(s).
3
Bibliographical references must be listed alphabetically at the end of the article. If there are several works by the same author(s), do not include the author(s) name in every bibliographic entry and sort the titles from the oldest to the latest one. Use lower case letters (a, b, c…), to distinguish the same-year entries of an author: 2013a; 2013b; etc.
Place of publication should be written in its original language; if several places are listed, separate them with comas, for instance: London, New York.
In articles published in English, all the words of the title, except prepositions and articles, are written with initial capital letter.
The following formatting should be used for the bibliographic entries:
· Book:
Bonhème, M.; Forgeau, A. 1988: Pharaon. Les secrets du pouvoir. Paris.
If a book is part of a series, the series name should be added in italics and within parentheses after the book’s title; for the series number use Roman numerals.
Labrousse, A.; Lauer, J.-Ph.; Leclant, J. 1977: Le temple haut du complexe funéraire du roi Ounas (BibEtud 73). Le Caire.
If the book comprises several volumes, the number of volume is mentioned at the end:
Osing, J.; Rosati, G. 1998: Papiri geroglifici e ieratici da Tebtynis. Firenze. 2 vols.
If the book corresponds to a re-edition, the edition used by the author should be cited at the end and between parentheses:

· Journal article:
Säve-Soderbergh, T. 1949: “Buhen Stela of the Second Intermediate Period”, JEA 35: 54–61.

Whitcomb, D. 1996: “Quseir Al-Qadim and the location of Myos Hormos”, Topoi 6 / 2: 747–772.
Authors should use the standard set of abbreviations for Egyptological journal titles (following the model of LÄ).
· Chapter in a multi-authored book (with editor):
The editors are cited with the initial of their name first and afterwards their surname, without using small capitals. In the event of several authors, their names are separated by commas and by “and” in the case of the last editor:

If the book chapter is published in a work with several volumes, the corresponding volume is indicated before the reference to the pages:

Use quotation marks for direct quotations. If the quote exceeds 4 lines, the quote should be included as an independent text, without quotation marks and using Times New Roman, font size 11.
5
Centuries and ancient Egyptian dynasties are always spelled out; while dynasties are capitalized, centuries are not, e.g. “Sixth Dynasty” and “tenth century BC/BCE”.
