Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Papyrus of Ani in the British Museum, translated by E. A. Wallis Budge

Explore ancient Egyptian ideas about death and the soul through the Papyrus of Ani. E. A. Wallis Budge’s edition brings together the hieroglyphic text, a transliteration of its sounds, and an interlinear word-for-word translation.

A separate English translation lets readers approach the funerary writings as a continuous text. This Dover volume offers historical religious material for study; Budge is the translator and editor, not the original author of these ancient compositions. ISBN: 9780486218663.
