The Book of the Opening of the Mouth V2 is a book written by E. A. Wallis Budge, an Egyptologist and scholar of ancient Egyptian religion and language. The book is a translation of an ancient Egyptian funerary text that was used in the opening ceremony of the mouth of a deceased person, in order to enable them to eat and drink in the afterlife. The book is divided into chapters that describe the various rituals and spells used in the opening ceremony. These include the purification of the deceased, the anointing of their body with oils and perfumes, and the recitation of spells and incantations to open their mouth and enable them to speak and breathe in the afterlife. The text is accompanied by illustrations and hieroglyphs that provide a visual representation of the rituals and spells described in the book. Budge's translation is based on several ancient Egyptian manuscripts, including the Papyrus of Ani and the Papyrus of Hunefer. Overall, The Book of the Opening of the Mouth V2 provides a fascinating insight into the ancient Egyptian beliefs about death and the afterlife, and the rituals and spells used to ensure the deceased's successful transition to the next world.In Two Volumes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
