The Egyptian Book of the Dead: The Book of Going Forth by Day - The Complete Papyrus of Ani Featuring Integrated Text and Full-Color Images

Customer Reviews:

Excellent for the novice (and for the pros and intermediates, too!)

By D. Charles Pyle - November 7, 2009

I own a copy of the prior edition of the book but having glanced over this one it appears to be virtually the same. This text is an excellent addition to one's library, particularly if one is interested in such things or even slightly curious.

I love its arrangement but a number of the images have been so computerized that they almost look cartoonish. While a book of pictures and text is no substitute for the originals, this is about as close as one can get for the price.

And, the price is not bad. The great thing is that those readers who cannot read Egyptian will find in this text a window to ancient Egypt. Even for those who can read the text for themselves without the English translation will find this work of use in beefing up their skills in reading Egyptian due to the fact that most of the images are so clear as to allow actual reading of the Egyptian text from the photos and then checking their work by the translation below.

extraordinary edition

By Questions'Searcher - September 18, 2008

The edition is extraordinary. The images reproducing the original documents are so accurate and of such a fine quality that the book is worth buying just for the illustrations, and because of the way it presents itself it truly makes a special gift, always appreciated and impressive. In regards to the historical, scientific and spiritual value of the document itself, I need to study more to be able to tell. I have no doubt this study will be enriching and valuable beyond my expectations, and the effort necessary to penetrate its message, will pay off enormously in seeing more about myself.

Beautiful & necessary

By Leducdor - December 22, 2008

This book is ideal for anyone desiring a competent, informative compilation of the Papyrus of Ani and the Theban Recensions of the Egyptian Book of the Dead. Well presented, competently translated and indexed, this book is necessary for any amateur Egyptologist as well as any lover of Egyptian art. It is even fascinating as a simple "coffee table book," if purchased for no other reason. The only drawback is that it makes one yearn to own the hardback edition, as well!
