A Hieroglyphic Vocabulary to the
Theban Recension of the
Book of the Dead
Containing a comprehensive dictionary of hieroglyphs to all the texts
of the Theban Recension of the Book of the Dead, and also to most of the
supplementary Chapters of the Saïte and Graeco-Roman period that are
usually appended to it, this volume will prove to be a staple part of a
rounded appreciation of Ancient Egyptian literature.
First published in 1911, the index includes all English equivalents to
the Egyptian words. Phonetic values for each symbol are provided, the
arrangement of the words and their various forms is arranged alphabe-
tically throughout, and each hieroglyph is printed clearly: a user-
friendly and concise tool for all enthusiasts, students and researchers.

PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
T he following pages contain a Hieroglyphic Voca­
bulary to all the texts of the Chapters of the Theban
Recension of the Book of the Dead which is printed
in this Series (Vols. XXVIII—XXX), and also to most
of the supplementary Chapters of the Saite and Graeco-
Roman period which are appended thereto. The whole
work has been comprehensively revised, and in the case
of characters to which the values given in 1897, when
the first edition was compiled, are now obsolete, special
care has been taken to place them in the order in
which they have since been proved to belong. The
arrangement of the words and their various forms is
usually alphabetical, and it is hoped that the few ex­
ceptions to this rule will cause the reader no difficulty.
A very considerable number of words and forms have
been added to this edition, and it was necessary, for
reasons of space, to omit all references.
VIII PREFACE.
A new feature of this edition of the Vocabulary is
the Index to all the English equivalents of Egyptian
words printed herein. This was prepared in answer to
the requests of many who had used the first edition
of the Vocabulary.
For the care which Mr. Adolf Holzliausen has given
to the printing of this work my sincere thanks are due.
