Abstract
This article examines the development of Ancient Egyptian royal inscriptions from the Old Kingdom up to the Eighteenth Dynasty. It traces the evolution from royal labels, annals, and decrees of the Old Kingdom to the appearance of royal novels (Königsnovellen) in the Middle Kingdom. The turning point lies in the First Intermediate Period, when various elements of the nomarchal biographical inscriptions began to occur in royal inscriptions. Royal inscriptions are classified according to text type, and their functions discussed.
