Abstract

IN his “Egyptian Heaven and Hell” Dr. Wallis Budge has contributed another work to his already long list of books dealing with the subject of ancient Egyptian religions. It appears in three-volume form in the useful little series of “Books on Egypt and Chaldæa,” written by Dr. Budge and Mr. L. W. King, and published by Messrs. Kegan Paul. Those who are interested in the subject are familiar with Dr. Budge's edition of the “Book of the Dead” in the same series. These volumes form a companion work, being an edition of the two subsidiary collections of funerary texts, “The Book of the Am-Tuat (that which is in Hades)” and “The Book of the Gates,” which accompanied the great “Chapters of Coming Forth into the Day,” the “Book of the Dead” proper. As in the former work, Dr. Budge gives the text, translation, and illustrations from the original papyri.
