A Catalogue of the Egyptian Collection in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge (Paperback): Ernest Alfred Wallace Budge A Catalogue of the Egyptian Collection in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge (Paperback)
Ernest Alfred Wallace Budge
R644 Discovery Miles 6 440 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Since the first donations of Egyptian artefacts to the Fitzwilliam Museum, including the sarcophagus lid of Rameses III donated in 1823, its ancient Egyptian holdings have grown steadily. This collection, now one of the most important in Britain, was catalogued for the first time by Sir Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis Budge (1857-1934) of the British Museum's department of antiquities. Budge was a leading authority on ancient Egypt and had himself acquired several pieces for the museum in Egypt in 1886-7. The collection as listed in this 1893 publication included 577 objects: sarcophagi, coffins, canopic jars, mummies, scarabs, sculptures, and other decorative objects. Budge provided transcriptions and translations of the hieroglyphs that appear on the objects with his descriptions of each item. Although the collection has been augmented by many further gifts and purchases, Budge's catalogue remains a valuable record of the collection in the late Victorian period.

Kebra Nagast (The Book of the Glory of Kings) (Paperback): Ernest Alfred Wallace Budge Kebra Nagast (The Book of the Glory of Kings) (Paperback)
Ernest Alfred Wallace Budge
R426 Discovery Miles 4 260 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

The 'Kebra Nagast' (Glory of Kings) was written at least one thousand years ago, and takes its theme from much older sources, some going back to the first century AD. Written originally in the African classical language Ge'ez, the book tells the history of a Davidic line of African monarchs, descended from King Solomon of Israel and Maqeda, Queen of Sheba (Saba), who journeyed to the Levant specifically to visit the wise and far-famed monarch. It was a successful meeting of minds, and Maqeda proved the equal of Solomon the Wise in a series of long philosophical discussions. But the Hebrew monarch was not merely attracted to the African Queen's intellect - by means of a ploy, he seduced Maqeda, who gave birth to a son, Ebna-Lahakim. But this seduction proved to be Solomon's undoing. While in Israel, Prince Ebna-Lahakim gathered around him a group of royal nobles and together they seized the two most powerful symbols of Israel's compact with the Almighty - the Ark of the Covenant and the stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. These trophies were carried back to Abyssinia where, it is said, they remain to this day.

The after-life was a major component of ancient Egyptian culture, upon which much of their society was centered around. Death and resurrection was considered a constant cycle. This book is the first comprehensive study of ancient Egyptian ceremonies. The author, Sir Wallis Budge, was the keeper of the Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the British Museum and devoted his life to understanding their mysteries. This book goes much further in explaining ancient Egyptian rituals, texts and artifacts than many newer books have done. Highly recommended for those seeking new information on a legendary ancient culture.
