678 ## - BIOGRAPHICAL OR HISTORICAL DATA

• Biographical or historical data: Book of the dead is the common name for an ancient Egyptian collection of funerary texts made up of spells or magic formulas, placed in tombs and believed to protect and aid the deceased in the hereafter. Probably compiled and re-edited during the 16th century B.C., the collection included Coffin texts dating from approximately 2000 B.C., Pyramid texts dating from approximately 2400 B.C., and other writings. Later compilations included hymns to Re, the sun god. Numerous authors, compilers, and sources contributed to the work. Scribes copied the texts on rolls of papyrus, often colourfully illustrated, and sold them to individuals for burial use. Many copies of the book have been found in Egyptian tombs, but none contains all of the approximately 200 known chapters. The collection, literally titled "The Chapters of Coming-Forth-by-Day," received its present name from Karl Richard Lepsius, German Egyptologist who published the first collection of the texts in 1842. The Papyrus of Ani is a well-known manuscript embodying this work.
