Among the broad spectrum of ancient Egyptian religious literature,
the Book of the Dead is the most representative of ancient Egyptian
mortuary religion and of the magical and ritual practices belonging
to it. Moreover, its rich corpus of texts and images provides
unique information on the scribal practices, mortuary traditions,
myths, and priestly rituals in ancient Egypt from the 2nd
Millennium BCE to the Roman Period. The Oxford Handbook of the
Egyptian Book of the Dead is the first major guide to collect and
synthesize the wide-ranging body of scholarship on the Book of the
Dead as well as the broader literature on ancient Egyptian religion
and magic. Useful for both curious undergraduates and advanced
scholars, this collection of contributions from specialists in the
field will become a go-to resource for years to come on everything
from the textual history of the Book of the Dead to its material
origins and historical reception. Editors Rita Lucarelli and Martin
Andreas Stadler have curated a singular volume that is both state
of the art and comprehensive.
