    • Sir E. A. Wallis Budge (1857-1934) was Keeper of the British Museum s department of oriental antiquities from 1894 until his retirement in 1924. Carrying out many missions to Egypt in search of ancient objects, Budge was hugely successful in collecting papyri, statues and other artefacts for the trustees of the British Museum: numbering into the thousands and of great cultural and historical significance. Budge published well over 100 monographs, which shaped the development of future scholarship and are still of great academic value today, dealing with subjects such as Egyptian religion, history and literature. First published in 1908, this is the second of two volumes dealing with the kings of Egypt. Using a variety of material from the British Library s extensive collections, Budge meticulously collated the names of the Pharaohs and royal personages from the 20th to the 30th Dynasties of Egypt. With a detailed discussion concerning Egyptian Chronology, this classic work will be of great interest and value to scholars and students of Ancient Egyptian history and archaeology."

    • The present volume, containing translations of all the important Ethiopic Legends of the Blessed Virgin MARY, and the companion volume of translations of the Ethiopic versions of the Miracles of our Lady, are supplements to the reproductions of the Lady Meux MSS., Nos. 2-5, which Lady Meux printed for private circulation in 1899. Many scholars and others have wondered how these fine MSS. became detached from the great Makdala Collection which the British Army brought to England in 1868, and how they found their way into her possession. And as they have also asked why she rendered such a signal service to Ethiopic studies by printing the original texts, with English translations and costly coloured facsimiles of the pictures-a work entailing great expense, and one which none before her had undertaken-I print here a short account of the way in which she acquired them."

    • To obtain eternal life the ancient Egyptians believed the body, upon death, had to undergo a mummification or embalming process. The author gives an account of the history of ancient Egypt and describes the techniques used in mummification and the rituals and artefacts associated with this funereal rite. To the Egyptian, the embalming of a dead body acted as a barrier against decay and prepared it for the return of the soul (and thereafter everlasting life). As the author notes, great care was taken in the preparation of the tombs to repel attacks by demons; to ensure the mummy rested in comfort the tombs were decorated with familiar scenes and with everyday objects from the person's life. This volume will interest anyone wishing to understand not only the process of mummification but also the cultural background of a ritual upon which an entire civilization was built.

Wydaje się, że mit ozyriański nigdy nie został głębiej zbadany. Herodot podaje – wśród uwag o modlitwach i tajemnicach kapłańskich – że kazano mu zachować milczenie. Cudzoziemskiemu badaczowi kapłani najprawdopodobniej wyznaczyli granice, których nie wolno mu było przekroczyć.
