The Papyrus of Ani is the most complete, ornate, and best-preserved example of ancient Egyptian philosophical and religious thought. It is presented here for the first time in its original form, with the hieroglyphic images matched to what has been acknowledged as the finest English translation of the text. Gorgeous color plates, including a fold-out of The Declaration of Innocence Before the Gods of the Tribunal. Introduction and commentaries by Dr. Ogden Goelet, preface by Carol Andrews.
