Ancient Egyptian Literature

by Miriam Lichtheim · Miriam Lichtheim (trans.)

Lichtheim's three-volume anthology, beginning in 1973 with the Old and Middle Kingdoms, translates hymns, wisdom texts, tales, autobiographies and funerary texts. Each piece is introduced and annotated. It remains the most widely used English collection of Egyptian writings, including many key religious texts.
