Egyptian Book of the Dead: Gilded Pocket Edition, translated by E. A. Wallis Budge

This compact edition introduces the prayers, spells, and incantations of the ancient Egyptian Book of the Dead through material from the Papyrus of Ani. These writings were intended to guide the dead through the underworld and illuminate Egyptian beliefs about the afterlife.

Translated by E. A. Wallis Budge, this illustrated Arcturus Ornate Classics edition is presented as a gilded pocket hardback. It offers historical religious literature in a gift format, distinct from the larger Dover text-and-transliteration edition. ISBN: 9781398809628.
