Product Description

Product Description

The collections of charms, formulas, hymns and spells designed to accompany the dead of Ancient Egypt on their journey to the afterlife have always exerted a powerful fascination on modern generations. Written on papyrus, inscribed on the walls of tombs and sarcophagi, or engraved on amulets, these texts with their vignette illustrations give us unparalleled insights into the ideas, beliefs and religious systems of the magnificent civilizations that flourished from 1600BC to 900BC. The Books of the Dead were regarded as all-powerful guides along the roads that passed through death and the grave to lead to the realms of light and life, into the presence of the divine Osiris, the conqueror of death, and his consort Isis.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great version of the book of the Dead, 23 Jul 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Book of the Dead (Paperback)
Mr. Budge's book is a wonderfull translation, and transliteration of this famous Ancient Egyptian document. With the heiroglyphics included in the transliteration, one is also able to study heiroglyphic translation as one reads the various chapters. Because the heiroglyphics are placed in the book as uniform graphics, the continuity of the pictures, helps the reader more efficiently follow the transliteration, thereby helping the reader deduce what symbols mean what, and thereby adding another facet to this wonderfull volume. The only drawback to this book, is the lack of photographs of the actual papyri. This problem is significant in some respects, but overall this volume is able to clearly define all of those items that the ancients felt were vital to get one (a deceased one) into the afterlife.

2.0 out of 5 stars For the real fanatic, not the amateur, 16 Sep 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Book of the Dead (Paperback)
I have a great interest in Ancient Egypt, and have read a great deal about it. I thought that this book would interest me, but in fact, it's very dusty, dry and for the real academic. It must be remembered also that it was originally published in 1895, which makes the style seem extremely pedantic and old fashioned. Perhaps once I have done more deep research into the topic, I will come back to this book, but for now, it will gather dust on my book-shelf.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not a transliteration, 19 Sep 2004
By stewart white (Pangbourne, Berkshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The e-version as sold is not a transliteration nor does it have the hieroglyphic text so beware. It is only Budge's now somewhat outdated translation. I mention transliteration because that is specifically why I bought it.
