Irmtraut Munro
Professor of Egyptology at the University of Bonn
Irmtraut Munro is a professor of Egyptology at the University of Bonn, and one of the world's foremost scholars on the Book of the Dead. She has produced a plethora of books on the subject which span a wide range of Book of the Dead issues, such as the provenance of the first 18th Dynasty BD and many problematic papyri like that of the high priest Pa-Nedjem II, and has played an integral role in the university's Totenbuch project. Most recently Dr Munro has spoken at the Egyptological Colloquium 2009, where she outlined yet another problem manuscript; this time relating to the 26th Dynasty and the shift in sequences from the standardised so-called Saite Rescension of BD spells.
