Osiris And The Egyptian Resurrection

By E. A. Wallis Budge, M.A., Litt.D., F.S.A. Keeper of the Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities in the British Museum

2 vols. Frontispiece in Color. With nearly 200 Illustrations, after Drawings from Egyptian Papyri and Monuments.

“These two massive volumes give evidence of thorough and careful scholarship.... It may well be believed that Dr. Budge has spoken the final word upon the religions of Egypt.... The magnificent series of illustrations drawn from original sources, together with numerous original hieroglyphic texts with illustrative translations, add immeasurably to the value of the work.”—Boston Transcript.

“These two splendid volumes, opulently illustrated, are of large interest to students of comparative religions. It is the signal merit of Dr. Budge that he has developed, as no other scholar has done, the relations between this ancient Egyptian religion and the beliefs of modern peoples in the heart of the African continent—peoples who were apparently far remote from ancient Egyptian influence.”—N. Y. Outlook.

“The subject is in itself fascinating and Dr. Budge, with his authoritative scholarship, has done full justice to it. The work is the result of great toil and represents great learning. The illustrations are excellent.”—London Times.

“The most valuable and authoritative handbook of Egyptian Archæology extant.”—N. Y. Tribune.

Manual of Egyptian Archæology

By G. Maspero

Revised and Enlarged Edition. With nearly 250 Illustrations.

Among the volumes of service to the reader interested in Egyptology, this authoritative and pithy volume has for a long series of years occupied an important place. In compact form, it has presented an excellent survey—much of it the result of the author’s own researches and excavations—of just the facts that every well-informed person desires to know regarding the pyramids, the tombs, and the great temples, as well as the works of sculpture and the mural decorations that rendered their interiors striking and interesting. The whole course of Egyptian Archæology, in the light of the author’s explanations, becomes vitalized and full of meaning.

The text has been carefully revised and many significant additions made, based on contributions to the subject of Egyptology since the original issue of the volume. The making of the textual changes and additions has been entrusted to Mrs. H. W. Johns, the wife of the distinguished Assyriologist of Cambridge University and the sister of the well-known Egyptologist, Dr. F. S. Griffith of Oxford.
