An Egyptian Book of the Dead

in English, by E. Wallis Budge, 1895

A translation of several Egyptian prayers and text dealing with the mummification of the dead, and the travails that the departed face in the afterlife. Far too speculative a translation for most reputable scholars, this book delves deeply into Egyptian ritual magic. Later advances in Egyptian translation make out Budge's conclusions as rather spurious. (Johnson, Sam, and Sandy Antunes. "Miskatonic University: A Handbook to the Pride of Arkham."
