The Liturgy of Funerary Offerings is a book written by E. A. Wallis Budge. It is a comprehensive guide to the ancient Egyptian ritual of offering funerary offerings to the dead. The book provides a detailed description of the various offerings that were made, including food, drink, and incense, and explains the symbolism behind each one. It also explores the beliefs and practices of the ancient Egyptians regarding death and the afterlife, and how the funerary offerings were believed to assist the deceased in their journey to the underworld. The Liturgy of Funerary Offerings is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient Egyptian religion and culture, as well as for those studying the history of funerary rites and practices.1909. This volume contains the Egyptian texts with English translations of two copies of one of the most important documents connected with the dead which have come down to us, namely, a detailed list of the offerings which were made to the dead, and also of the consecrating formulae which were recited by the chief officiating priest, as he presented them to a mummified body, or to a statue of the deceased. The original document deals exclusively with the presentation of offerings to the dead.
