ABSTRACT
Much has been written during the last ten to twenty years on that remarkable phase in the history of Egyptian religion and art, which is so closely associated with the name of Amenophis IVth , and for which many scholars are inclined to regard the king's own personality and teaching as largely responsible. No one, however, has hitherto attempted to reduce to a coherent whole the numerous scraps of information as to the procedure followed at the celebration of the liturgy in the temples of the Aton at EI-Amarna, information that may be found scattered about the text and plates of the six volumes of N. de Garis Davies' great work, The Rock Tombs of El-Amarna, and on the pages of other works dealing with the art and religion of the EI-Amarna period. To do this is the aim of the present article, which the writer hopes will prove to be a useful, if but small, contribution to the study of one aspect of a wide and very important question.
