AEB 52.2143 ALLEN, T. George, Additions to the Egyptian Book of the Dead, JNES 11 (1952), 177-186, (pl.). The author publishes two more spells of the Book of the Dead; the spells, to be called 191 and 192, occur together with four offering-formulas at the end of Papyrus Ryerson, a Persian-Ptolemaic BD in the Oriental Institute Museum at the University of Chicago (No. 9787). Written in hieroglyphic they follow in order after BD 162, at which point the hieratic main portion of the manuscript ends with the notation iw.f pw, "finis". A search for parallel texts has turned up three more sources where the two spells are associated. A fifth source of BD 192 is a coffin lid; of BD 191, thirteen further sources have been noted. Our eighteen sources may all be Ptolemaic. Allen offers a transliteration and a new translation of both spells, followed by a great number of notes. |
