From the back cover: “Over the centuries the tradition changed: papyrus scrolls containing spells to guide the journey to the realm of the dead were placed in coffins. These scrolls were called Books of the Dead.” The book opens with some background on these Egyptian funerary texts and then presents ancient spells, including those addressed to different Egyptian gods.
