Ancient Egyptian Coffin Texts
This authoritative English translation of the Middle Kingdom Coffin Texts is an essential resource for all Egyptologists. Filling the gap between the Pyramid Texts and the New Kingdom Book of the Dead, these writings were intended to supply the deceased with the speeches he would need to achieve a secure and important position in the next world. The new edition reprints Faulkner's whole work in one volume.
Concise textual notes are kept to a minimum, allowing the character of the texts to be experienced as a whole. As such they supply valuable insights into Egyptian beliefs and mortuary practices. Indexes cover divinities, localities, celestial bodies, selected Egyptian words in translation and also the parts of boats and sailing gear that figure prominently in some spells.
