The Egyptian Book of the dead

by Unknown

• The reference to Chapter 41, note 8 is wrong, and there is no other obvious note.
• The identifier for Note 5 on p. 81 was missing, and has been restored.
• The reference to “Lord of the One Face” (Note 5 on p. 133) has been restored to the appropriate place.
• In the summary note to Chapter 22 on p. 61, there is an apparent reference ‘(2)’, for which there is no obvious referent. It is retained, but mentioned below.
• In the Notes for Chapter 46 on p. 102, there is a reference to note 6 of Chapter 124, which does not exist.
• The numbering of notes in Chapter 64 was confused. The reference to note 15 was missing, and has been added. There were two note 21’s and a repeated reference to note 23. These have been resequenced.
• There is a reference to note 6 in Chapter 72 for which there is no corresponding note.
• The reference to note 5 in Chapter 112 was missing and, based on the subject of the note, has been placed after the final word on p. 184.
• At 218.21, a spurious reference to a note 49 has been added, causing the numbering of the final 6 references to be off by one. The reference is removed, and the numbering resequenced.
• The reference to note 4 in Chapter 144 was missing and has been placed after the phrase “receives the saying” at line 288.9.
• The reference to note 2 in Chapter 176 was missing and has been placed after the phrase “flame born” at line 340.8.
• Note 6 of Chapter 176 has no reference in the text.

The singular and plural names ‘Uræus’ and ‘Uræi’ usually appear with the ‘æ’ ligature, but twice each as ‘Uraeus’ or ‘Uraei’. The ligature version has been adopted, for the sake of text searches, as noted below.

The proper name ‘Maāt’ which appears more than fifty times, is spelled a handful of times without the macron on the second ‘a’ later in the text (pp. 336, 344, 353, 374). These have been amended

Those errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
