The latest edition of this highly praised anthology of ancient Egyptian literature offers fresh translations of all the texts as well as some twenty-five new entries, including writings from the late literature of the Demotic period at the end of classical Egyptian history.

Praise for the earlier editions:

An elegant, easily readable, and most serviceable volume.--K. A. Kitchen, Journal of Near Eastern Studies

A reliable rendering of the Egyptian text that can be useful to students of Egyptology and provide the layman with delightful reading material.--Mordechai Gilula, Cultura
