Part I contains principal facts about the religious beliefs and thoughts of the Egyptians, and their conception of God and the gods, their enneads and triads, the religious and systems of the great cities. Magic, the cult of animals, the cult of Osiris and the Tuat, or Other World, are treated at some length. Part II is devoted to a series of revised English translations of a considerable number of fine hymns; myths, both ritual and aetiological; legends of the gods, and a few miscellaneous texts. Illustrated. |
