In this book all the vignettes from the Papyri of Ani, Hunefer and Anhai are reproduced, for the first time, in full color photographs. These three papyri rank among the most superb specimens of a collection of Egyptian funerary texts which, for the past 130 years, has been known by the title Book of the Dead. The Papyrus of Ani, at slightly more than 78 feet, is the longest papyrus of the Book of the Dead from the Theban period; the Papyrus of Hunefer measures 18 feet 1 inch, and that of Anhai 14 feet 6 inches.
