In this classic work, first published in 1899, one of the most
prolific Egyptologists of the Victorian era offers his renowned
insight into the magical power names, spells, and talismans held
for the ancient Egyptians. How did beliefs that predated the
worship of deities come to become associated with controlling gods
and goddesses? How did magical amulets ward off evil spirits? What
role did scarabs serve in bestowing immortality? The writings of
E.A. Wallis Budge are considered somewhat controversial today
because of his use of an archaic system of translation, but useful
illustrations and an abundance of information make them necessary
works for students of ancient civilizations as well as those of the
evolution of historical study. This entertaining overview of the
connection between religion and magic in ancient Egypt remain a
vital resource today. SIR E.A. WALLIS BUDGE (1857-1934) was curator
of Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities at the British Museum form
1894 to 1924. Among his many works of translation and studies of
ancient Egyptian religion and ritual is his best-known project, The
Egyptian Book of the Dead.
