Egyptian Magic - Wallis Budge
by E. A. Wallis Budge Very nice illustrations “…the book was an authoritative work [in 1895 -1st edition] on ancient Egyptian magic and occult practices. It contains interesting information on amulets, scarabs, spells, ghosts and mind control. Tales of magic have also been included, as well as an interpretation of the ancient Egyptian calendar.” - Goodreads "Sir Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis Budge (27 July 1857 – 23 November 1934) was an English Egyptologist, Orientalist, and philologist who worked for the British Museum and published numerous works on the ancient Near East. [1] He made numerous trips to Egypt and the Sudan on behalf of the British Museum to buy antiquities, and helped it build its collection of cuneiform tablets, manuscripts, and papyri. He published many books on Egyptology, helping to bring the findings to larger audiences. In 1920 he was knighted for his service to Egyptology and the British Museum." - Wikipedia Contents Title Page Preface Contents Chapter I: Antiquity of Magical Practices in Egypt Chapter II.
