For both lay readers and scholars interested in a wide range of topics from mysticism and philosophy to anthropology and astronomythis sumptuous and accessible new volume will be an essential acquisition. From Library Journal The Book of the Dead is a collection of writings that were placed in tombs as a means of guiding the ancient Egyptian soul on its journey to the afterlife. The Papyrus of Ani, which is reproduced here, is one of the most important and beautiful of the surviving papyri. Damage in the 19th century seriously confused its sequencing and the relationship between text and illustrations. Here for the first time the scroll is presented in its proper sequence and in its entirety. The English text is placed immediately underneath the corresponding hieroglyphs, and the reproductions are faithful to the originals in all their glowing color. A critical purchase for any serious collection of materials on ancient Egypt. Mary Morgan Smith, Northland P.L., Pittsburgh, Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc.
