The Egyptian Book of the Dead

Focusing on ancient Egyptian funerary practices, this work presents the Papyrus of Ani, renowned for its exceptional preservation and illumination. It serves as a vital resource for understanding the "Books of the Dead," which were designed to guide souls through the underworld using spells and inscriptions. The text, edited by E.A. Wallis Budge, is essential for those intrigued by the early study and translation of hieroglyphics. This edition, originally published in 1895, includes the complete version of the Papyrus of Ani.
