This book is in very good condition. There is some minor wear on the front, back and spine of the cover boards There is little to no wear on the edges of the cover boards. The corners on the cover boards are barely bumped. The previous owners name is written on the inside of the front cover board. The pages are yellowed and tanned but clear of any markings. The page edges have some sort of stain on them.
"The Papyrus of Ani is the largest, the most perfect, and the best illuminated of all the papyri containing copies of the Theban Recension of the Book of the Dead. Its rare Vignettes, Hymns, and Chapters, and its descriptive Rubrics, tender it of unique importance for the study of the Book of the Dead, and it holds a very high place among the funerary papyri that were written between B.C. 1500 and B.C. 1350. Although it contains less than one-half of the Chapters which formed the Great Corpus of texts written for the benefit of the dead, we may conclude that Ani's exalted official position, as Chancellor of the ecclesiastical revenues and endowments of all the Temples of Thebes and Abydos, ensured the inclusion of all the Chapters which an educated Egyptian deemed essential for salvation. The Papyrus of Ani is, in short, typical of the Book of the Dead in voque among the Theban nobles of his time...." - Preface from The Book Of The Dead: The Heiroglyphic Transcript of the Papyrus of ANI, the Translation into English and An Introduction by E. A. WALLIS BUDGE, Late Keeper of the Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities in the British Museum
