Summary

English summary: This is the first complete and comprehensive publication of the tomb of Setaou, the fist prophet of Nekhbet at Elkab during the 20th Dynasty. After the history of the discovery of the tomb, its archaeological description, and a stylistic analysis of its painted reliefs, the volume categorizes the extant scenes and analyzes the texts of this richly decorated tomb. French text. French description: La tombe de Setaou, premier prophete de Nekhbet a Elkab a la 20e Dynastie, n'a fait l'objet, a ce jour, d'aucune publication d'ensemble, les egyptologues s'etant surtout interesses aux representations remarquables de la barque sacree de Nekhbet, ainsi qu'aux " signatures " de Meryre, le decorateur de la chapelle. Apres l'histoire de la decouverte de la tombe, sa description archeologique et l'examen stylistique de ses reliefs peints, la publication systematique des scenes et l'analyse des textes revelent la richesse structurelle des parois dont les axes vertical et horizontal se combinent afin de garantir la survie du defunt. En outre, l'ouvrage met en lumiere deux compositions litteraires exceptionnelles, la " Priere a Nekhbet " et de nouvelles versions des " Formules du bon comportement ". Enfin, il elucide la nature des " signatures " de Meryre et precise le role de celui-ci en tant que concepteur des decors de la chapelle.
