The Egyptian Book of The Dead

by Dr. Faulkner Raymond, Ogden Goelet, Eva Von Dassow
Published by Chronicle Books
Paperback - 174 pages

Michael G. Smith

. This book is an outstanding translation and presentation of the books that make up the Papyrus of Ani. Faulkner is far superior to Budge, and this book proves it out. In addition to the beautiful pictures and fine translations, the commentaries in the back, along with the explanations of the vignettes contained in the papyrus are well worth the money. A must for anyone interested in Ancient Egypt and their culture.

The glossary and extensive bibliography are useful. Well translated by David Lorton, illustrated in black and white, this is a recommended book for all searching for details on important Egyptian texts. "
