ancient Egyptian hymns and religious texts printed in 
the following pages form a representative collection of the 
various compositions which the Egyptians inscribed upon the 
walls of tombs and sarcophagi, coffins and funeral stelae, papyri 
and amulets, etc., t o ensure the well-being of their dead in the 
world beyond the grave. ‘They have been edited from papyri 
and other documents which were found chiefly at Thebes and, 
taken together, they are generally known as the Theban Re- 
cension 
of 
the 
Book of the Dead, that is to say, the Recension 
of the great national funeral work, which was copied by the 
scribes for themselves and for Egyptian men and 
of 
high rank and position from about 1600 to goo 
B. C. 
Many 
of the ideas and beliefs embodied in these texts are coaeval with 
Egyptian civilization, and the actual forms 
of some of the most 
interesting of these are identical with those which we now know 
to have existed i n the Vth and 
dynasties, about 
C. 
T h e greater number of the texts here given belong t o the group 
to which the Egyptians gave the name “Chapters of Coming 
Forth by Day” 
the remainder are introductory hymns, supple- 
mentary extracts from ancient cognate works 
, 
rubrics, etc., 
which were believed t o increase the well-being and happiness 
of the dead, and t o give them greater strength to resist the 
attacks of foes and t o withstand the powers of darkness and 
of 
the grave.

EFA CE. 
T h e papyri selected as authorities are the best now known, 
and they have been chosen with the view of illustrating the deve- 
lopment of the T h e b a n Recension and the changes which took 
place in it during the various periods of its history. Since n o
papyrus contains all the Chapters of this Recension, and n o t w o
papyri agree either in respect 
of contents or arrangement of the 
Chapters, and the critical value 
of every text in a papyrus is 
not always the same, it follows that a complete edition 
of 
all 
the known Chapters of the Theban Recension would be im- 
possible unless recourse were had to several papyri. 
I 
have, there- 
fore, made use of several; and among them worthy 
of special 
mention is t h e Papyrus of 
Nu 
(Brit. Mus. 
No. 
from 
which 
I 
have printed 
Chapters. Here w e have about twenty 
Chapters 
of the Theban Recension which had not hitherto 
been found, and several which have, u p t o the present, been 
known t o exist i n single manuscripts only. Wherever it has 
seemed advisable, 
I 
have given the text of a Chapter from more 
than one papyrus 
; 
and, where lines have been omitted accident- 
ally by the scribe, 
I 
have generally supplied them from papyri 
of 
about the same period, telling the reader at the same time 
the sources 
of them. 
Like M. Naville, 
I 
have adopted the system 
of numbering the 
Chapters employed by Lepsius i n his edition 
of 
the 
o r
last Recension 
of the Book of the Dead, from the Turin Papy- 
rus, which was published 
so far back as
