Academic work

Karl Jansen-Winkeln received his doctorate in Egyptology at the University of Bonn in 1983. He received his habilitation in 1990 with his thesis Text und Sprache in der 3. Zwischenzeit. Vorarbeiten zu einer spätmittelägyptischen Grammatik at the Free University of Berlin. He taught there as a lecturer and, since 2002, as professor. His work has focused on the Egyptian language, inscriptions, chronology, and prosopography.[1] Among his most notable publications are Ägyptischen Biographien der 22. und 23. Dynastie (1985), Spätmittelägyptische Grammatik (1996), and Inschriften der Spätzeit, a series of edited primary sources from the Third Intermediate Period and later.[2] Jansen-Winkeln's studies on the end of the New Kingdom and the Third Intermediate Period have had a significant impact on the historiography of Ancient Egypt, for example identifying the previously elusive burial and throne name of Takelot I[3] and in contributing to a new understanding of the order and political role of the High Priests of Amun Piankh and Herihor.[4] As a specialist on the subject, Jansen-Winkeln wrote the sections on the Egyptian chronology of the Third Intermediate Period in the Brill handbook of Ancient Egyptian Chronology (2006).[5] By 2020, Jansen-Winkeln's publications included nine monographs, 245 articles, and 26 reviews.[6] Karl Jansen-Winkeln has served as an editor for the scholarly journals Altorientalische Forschungen (from 1996 to 2012) and Journal of Egyptian History (since 2006).[7]
