A Book of the Dead included declarations and spells to help the deceased in the afterlife. The Papyrus of Ani is the manuscript compiled for Ani, the royal scribe of Thebes.

A must have Absolutely stunning book. I am a huge fan of Egypt and have been studying various aspects of it for years now. I had been looking for complete inscriptions and complete text from the Book of the Dead for years. This is a vital addition to my collection as it constitutes actual texts from the Papyrus of Ani and comes in an amazingly illustrated package. It includes color photographs of the actual papyrus scrolls which raise the value of this book immensely. This is a must have for any…
Incredible! It is a GREAT and complete piece of Art, History and Religious beliefs on the after life more than 3,000 years, just incredible. Is a bit big but I don’t complain since originally is a big book.
