PREFACE
The collection of Egyptian religious papyri in the British Museum
consists, for the purpose of this Catalogue, since all the religious texts
which have also a literary character have been published in Select Papyri
in the Hieratic Character and Hieratic Pafiyri in the British Museum, of
copies of the books of spells and directions for the dead in the underworld,
placed in the tomb with other funerary furniture. The commonest of these
books, called by the Egyptians Pert-em-heru, generally known in modern
" 1
times as The Book
Dead," for inadequate reasons is a miscellany,
of the ,
containing much ancient material, which was standardised under the

Eighteenth Dynasty, though not in a rigidly fixed form. The finest
illustrated copies of this miscellany in the collection

-
have already been
published by order of the Trustees of the British Museum
in photographs
or facsimiles, 2 and a further group of the papyri in the collection was used
3
by Professor Edouard Naville in his comparative edition. The publication
of the remaining copies of this book will be the first subject undertaken in
this Catalogue ; but as the book changed greatly during the late period,
the form used after the Twenty-second Dynasty, known as the Saite
recension, must be the subject of a later part of the Catalogue. In the

first partthe papyri belonging to the period commencing with the
all
Eighteenth Dynasty and ending with the Twenty-second will be described,

andthe readings given in the hitherto unpublished copies will be printed

vi PREFACE
in the form of an apparatus criticus on a standard text. The standard text

is not conflated, but is the best text offered by any one papyrus in the
" "
collection for the chapter concerned, and for this purpose the system of
" "
numbering the chapters used by Lepsius has been adopted for conveni-
ence.
This first fascicle is devoted to the papyri containing the text of

Chapters I-XVII. Twelve facsimiles illustrate the hieroglyphic or
hieratic hands of as many different documents. In the second fascicle will
be given descriptions of the unpublished drawings and paintings illustrating

"
the text, the so-called vignettes," and reproductions of important ones.
Translations of interesting texts not previously dealt with have been
included in the introductory notes to the chapters. This is the first edition
ofan Egyptian text with an apparatus criticus of this kind, and constitutes
a departure from the reproduction of. manuscript copies of parallel texts .
in extenso, the method favoured, for instance, by the late Professor Naville.
The volume is thework of Mr. A. W. Shorter, M.A., Assistant Keeper in the
Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities.

INTRODUCTION
THE STANDARD TEXT.
In cases where a chapter is preserved by more than one of the manu-
scripts published for the first time in this work, a version, drawn from
papyri already published and termed here the standard text, has been
printed at the top of the page. The variations in the new manuscripts
from this standard text are recorded in the apparatus criticus printed
below it. The standard text is supplied by the papyrus of Nu (B.M.
No. 10477) whenever possible, but where a chapter is wanting or incomplete
in Nu the papyrus of Nebseny (B.M. No. 9900) is employed.
1
Where both
these manuscripts fail, the standard text is supplied from the papyrus of
Any (B.M. No. 10470), or from other British Museum manuscripts already
published, or from Naville's Todtenbuch or Grapow's Religiose Urkunden.
A departure from this principle, however, is made when only one of the
newly published manuscripts preserves the text of any chapter. In this
case the new text, printed in full, replaces the regular standard text and
apparatus criticus.
THE APPARATUS CRITICUS.

(1) The method of English transliteration employed is that used by
Dr. Alan Gardiner in his Egyptian Grammar.
(2) At the head of every chapter the manuscripts containing it are

listed in approximate
chronological order, and this order is followed as
far as possible when they are quoted in the apparatus criticus.
(3) When a manuscriptis not mentioned in the apparatus criticus it is
implied that it presents the same reading as that of the standard text,
unless (a) the passage in
question is omitted, in which case a statement to
this effect will be found at the head of the
chapter, or (b) the text is here
destroyed, in which case a statement to this effect will be found either at
the head of the chapter, or earlier in the
apparatus criticus at the point
where the destruction begins.
(4) The table printed on the opposite page contains spellings of certain
words which occur
frequently in the manuscripts named there. It is
1
In the texts from Nu and has been transcribed as when takes
Nebseny & a s a it
the place of that determinative.
x THE BOOK PR(T)-M-HRW
assumed, therefore, that in the said manuscripts these words always follow
the spellings in the table unless a contrary indication is given in the
apparatus criticus.
(5) The apparatus criticus records all variant spellings except, unless
unavoidably necessary, interchanges of the signs and ^ f^, and <=,\ , [1
and Neither the standard text nor the apparatus criticus records
.
the conventional epithets m^ -hrw and nb im/h which follow the name of
the deceased.
(6) assumed throughout that hieratic manuscripts substitute^ ^

It is
for $, the determinative employed by hieroglyphic manuscripts.
(7) The signs, often meaningless, which are employed in hieratic
manuscripts to fill the space above or below the final sign of a word, are
transcribed in the apparatus criticus as . , \\ ,
or , according to their
appearance in the original.
Signs enclosed within square brackets are restorations by the
(8)
editor. Empty square brackets ],[],[, placed respectively at the beginning,
in the middle, or at the end of a word, indicate that an unknown number of
signs is lost.
r n
(9) enclosing a sign indicate that in the original manuscript it is
not clear.
(10) A
comment enclosed in curved brackets, unless it be stated other-
wise, applies only to the manuscript mentioned immediately before it.
" "
E.g., in the entry wn-i A,B,M,MA ("^ restored) duplicate on page 26
of the text, the statement in brackets refers only to MA.
INTRODUCTORY NOTES AND TRANSLATIONS.
Translations are given only of those texts which are of special interest,
and attention is drawn to their most important features in the Introductory
Notes.

CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTORY NOTES
An important variant of the title is given by GB which, instead of
" "
Day of burial ", reads First day of burial ". The vignettes of the funeral
procession which usually accompany this text, and the statement, frequently
"
contained in the title, that it is to be recited on the day of burial "," make
itclear that this spell, whatever its original purpose may have been, was
actually recited by the officiant at some stage of the funeral ceremonies.

That the conveying of the mummy to its tomb, the celebration of the
various magical rites and the ifuneral feast attended by the dead person's
relatives, together occupied more than one day is in itself a probability,
" "
and the explicit mention of a first day of burial provides actual evidence
that this was the case, at least when the funeral was carried out on an
elaborate scale.
The supplementary text, which is added on at the end of Chapter I,
is found only in certain of the papyri of the XXIst Dynasty and in
the Saite recension it does not occur in the earlier New Kingdom
;
manuscripts. The only XXIst Dynasty example already published is

that of Papyrus Greenfield, hence the new copy (incomplete) provided
by MA is of interest, and a translation of it is given here. The opening
words continue the subject dealt with at the end of Chapter I proper,
namely the weighing of the deceased's heart and her acquittal before Osiris
and the gods of the Underworld.
TRANSLATION.
According to MA.
. She has been [proved] 1 in many mouths. She has been confronted
. .
with her soul, and it has been found that her conversation upon [earth] 1
was sound.
Behold, she is in [thy presence] 1 O lord of the gods
,
She has reached
!
the [lake] 1 of the Two Truths. She appears gloriously as a god, she shines
as the Ennead which is in the sky. Her footsteps are lifted high in
1
Restored from the version in Pap. Greenfield.
Kher-aha 1 that she may behold august Orion. She proceeds through Nun2
without being turned back. She beholds the lords of the Other World
(Dat). She partakes of the food of the Ennead and sits down with them.
The lector invokes for her the coffin, 3 and she hears the liturgy of offering.
She embarks upon the Neshemt*-\)oa.t without being turned back, her soul
being with its lord.

CHAPTER II
INTRODUCTORY NOTES
"
Le Page Renouf 1 understood the solitary being who shines as
"
(i.e., in the capacity of) the moon to be the sun-god, and deduced from
this and other passages that the Egyptians had forestalled the discovery
of the Greek astronomers that the moon's light is borrowed from the sun.
In spite of the improbability of such a discovery on the part of the
Egyptians, and of the unconvincing nature of the arguments advanced
by him, Renouf 's interpretation of this passage would seem to find confirma-
tion in the variants of certain Twenty-first Dynasty papyri, which actually
" "
read Ra' who shines as the moon in the second of the two invocations.
This apparent confirmation is carried still further by pap. GB of
the Nineteenth Dynasty (translated below), which not only reads
"
O Ra', etc." in the first invocation, but in the title explicitly designates
"
the chapter as an adoration" of Ra", inserts a further statement to this
effect at the beginning of the text itself, and illustrates it with a vignette
showing the dead person worshipping the sun-god in hawk-headed form.

In view, however, of the fact that there is not a particle of evidence that
either the Egyptian or Mesopotamian observers arrived (or were able to
arrive) at the conclusion that the moon's light was supplied by the sun,
Renouf's explanation of Chapter II on an astronomical basis must be
rejected, but mythologically it may be regarded as sound, and amply
supported by the version of GB. We have then either a reference to the
very ancient conception of the sky- or sun-god with two eyes, the sun and
moon, through both of which he may be said to shine, or else the hidden
sun of night is thought of as shining dimly through the moon in some
mysterious manner. The conclusion, however, that such was the original
meaning of the chapter should be received with some caution, since the
corruption and misunderstanding of texts which prevailed in the Book of
the Dead make it also possible that the occasional reading of R' for w'
arose simply out of a scribal confusion of the two words, which are very
similar. The next stage in alteration would be the addition of a solar title
1
P.S.B.A. VI, 131, 132 ; XVII, 37, 38.
and vignette such as those found in GB, a process which may be paralleled
in the case of other chapters. 1

CHAPTER XV.
INTRODUCTORY NOTES.
The custom of including hymns to the Sun-god in copies of the Book
of theDead first became general during the XlXth Dynasty they do not ;
appear, at the earliest, before the end of the XVIIIth Dynasty, and are
not found in the papyri of Nebseny, Nu or Yuaa. From the XlXth Dynasty
onwards, however, these hymns form an important feature of nearly every
papyrus, and are often accompanied by a vignette showing the adoration
of the rising or setting sun. These sun-hymns were designated by Richard
"
Lepsius Chapter XV," since they appeared after
"
Chapter XIV " in the
Turin papyrus, and the chapter number XVI
was, most unsuitably, given
by him to the accompanying vignette. Since Lepsius' formal numbering
of the chapters of the Book of the Dead has been generally retained by
Egyptologists, the hymns to the sun are grouped by us also under the
heading of Chapter XV, but we have gone further in including under this
number, for the sake of convenience, all solar hymns without exception,
"
some of which might otherwise have been termed Introductory " or have
been given no number at all.
It would appear, as Naville suggested, that no canonical text of
" "
Chapter XV was in existence during the New Kingdom. The hymns
in a great many papyri are different compositions,, and Naville was able to
present in his edition parallel texts of two only, which he called XVA II
and XVB III respectively. There are, however, a large number of phrases
which constantly recur in the hymns, and these are evidently stock
expressions on which the composing scribe was able to draw. Thus the
hymns edited in this volume, which are all addressed to the Sun-god
equated with Amen, god of Thebes, cannot be .identified as a whole with
other texts already published, but they abound in phrases and passages
which recur in those texts. The most important hymn, or group of hymns,
is the long text from the papyrus of Queen Nejemt (No. 10541 = JB), of
which a translation1 is given on pages 60ff It has been very badly copied
.
by an ignorant scribe, but the meaning is fairly clear throughout, and it

forms an interesting example of the solar hymns and litanies which had
1
Frequently only tentative.
become so popular by the end of the New Kingdom, of which a unique

collection is to be found in Papyrus Greenfield. The following are the
chief points of interest in it.
The text opens (lines 1-8) with an address hi which Nejemt declares
that she knows the names of Ra/, of his soul (ba) and of his spirits (kau) .
The seven souls 1 and fourteen spirits 2 of Rar are then invoked, the epithet
applied to each describing an attribute of the god. The short hymn to
Amen-Raf-Khepra-Atum-Horus (lines 25-29) is paralleled in Papyrus
Greenfield3 and Naville's Todtenbuch* but the immediately following song
(lines29-32) of triumph over Apopis (Aapep), the great serpent-enemy of
Rar, does not seem to occur elsewhere. In each of seven verses the states
of the Sun-god and Apopis respectively are contrasted, the former being
said to be happy, the latter miserable. The four invocations which follow
(lines 32-37), addressed to four different forms of the Sun-god, are of special
interest since they are illustrated by a vignette in the papyrus of Khnemu-
em-heb 5 at University College, London. The invocations in the papyrus
of Nejemt implore the Sun-god to save the deceased from her enemies,
" " "
even as he himself is delivered from his first," second," third," and
" "
fourth enemies. These four enemies would appear to be the four forms
taken by the monster Apopis and are also mentioned in the Ritual for
judging from the latter text they seem to correspond
6
Overthrowing Apopis ;
with the four chief times of the day and night, i.e., dawn, midday, evening,
and midnight. In the papyrus of Khnemu-em-heb the Sun-god is shown
enthroned in his barque on the celestial waters, the vanquished serpent
" "
lying beneath it. An explanatory legend refers to the fourth Apopis
"
(or four Apopis-serpents "), while in the forepart of the Sun-god's boat a
scribe stands writing down a list of the slain enemies in the presence of
Osiris, lord of Ankh-tauy (a district of Memphis). This section of Nejemt's
hymn closes with prayers for protection (lines 37-39) addressed to the
goddess Hathor-Nebthetep, and to Sekhmet, who is here identified with
Mut, goddess of Asher, a district of Thebes. Nejemt in this passage asks

to be delivered from the evil influence of dead man or dead
1
woman."
In the next section lines 48-49 contain a reference to the activities of
"
the god Seth, the son of Nut," in the barque of the Sun-god, whose
enemies he is said to kill. This was one of the few benevolent functions
allowed him by orthodox Egyptian theology, and a collection of the
infrequent references to it in the texts has been made and studied by
G. Nagel. 2 To these the present example should be added, together with the
forcefulwords of Seth in Papyrus Chester Beatty No. I, in which he lays
claim to the throne of Osiris, saying "As for me, I am Seth, the greatest
:
of strength among the Ennead, and I slay the enemy of Ra<" daily, being
in front of the Barque-of-Millions, and no other god is able to do it. I am
entitled to the office of Osiris." 3
Of the remaining hymns, those which are not too fragmentary for use
are to be found in papyri O (= 9953B), (= 9988), and (= 10013). W EA
They are reproduced on pages 66-^68 and translated below. Their
theme is, as usual, the splendour of the Sun-god, his voyage across the
heavens, and his power which sustains all life.
