The Egyptian Book of the Dead - Bog

Bag om The Egyptian Book of the Dead

This hardback gift edition presents the classic text, The Egyptian Book of the Dead, presented with original full-color illustrations and stenciled page edges. The Egyptian Book of the Dead is an ancient collection of spells, prayers and incantations designed to guide the departed through the perils of the underworld, ultimately ensuring eternal life. Written as part of funeral rites, these scrolls were often left in the sarcophagus of the deceased and now offer fascinating insight into Egyptian culture. This beautifully illustrated edition contains images from the exquisite Papyrus of Ani, an ancient Egyptian scroll narrating the journey of Theban scribe Ani through the underworld. Its accompanying hieroglyphic text has been translated by acclaimed Egyptologist E.A Wallis Budge, and includes spells addressed to ferryman, gods and kings to aid Ani on his way to the afterlife. This edition contains magnificent illustrations from Persian manuscripts that complement the text and bring out its timeless beauty.
