This authoritative English translation of the Middle Kingdom Coffin
Texts is an essential resource for all Egyptologists. The new
edition reprints Faulkner's whole work in one volume. Filling the
gap between the Pyramid Texts and the New Kingdom Book of the Dead,
these writings were intended to supply the deceased with the
speeches he would need to achieve a secure and important position
in the next world. As such they supply valuable insights into
Egyptian beliefs and mortuary practices. Concise textual notes are
kept to a minimum, allowing the character of the texts to be
experienced as a whole. Indexes cover divinities, localities,
celestial bodies, selected Egyptian words in translation and also
the parts of boats and sailing gear that figure prominently in some
spells.
