Osiris the king, was slain by his brother Set, dismembered, scattered, then gathered up and reconstituted by his wife Isis and finally placed in the underworld as lord and judge of the dead. He was worshipped in Egypt from archaic, pre-dynastic times right through the 4000-year span of classical Egyptian civilization up until the Christian era, and even today folkloristic elements of his worship survive among the Egyptian fellaheen. In this book E. A. Wallis Budge, one of the world's foremost Egyptologists, focuses on Osiris as the single most important Egyptian deity. This is the most thorough explanation ever offered of Osirism. With rigorous scholarship, going directly to numerous Egyptian texts, making use of the writings of Herodotus, Diodorus, Plutarch and other classical writers, and of more recent ethnographic research in the Sudan and other parts of Africa, Wallis Budge examines every detail of the cult of Osiris. At the same time he establishes a link between Osiris worship and African religions. He systematically investigates such topics as: the meaning of the name "Osiris" (in Egyptian, Asar); the iconography associated with him; the heaven of Osiris as conceived in the VIth dynasty; Osiris's relationship to cannibalism, human sacrifice and dancing; Osiris as ancestral spirit, judge of the dead, moon-god and bull-god; the general African belief in god; ideas of sin and purity in Osiris worship; the shrines, miracle play and mysteries of Osiris; "The Book of Making the Spirit of Osiris" and other liturgical texts; funeral and burial practices of the Egyptians and Africans; the idea of the Ka, spirit-body and shadow; magical practices relating to Osiris; and the worship of Osiris and Isis in foreign lands. Throughout there are admirable translations of pyramid texts (often with the original hieroglyphics printed directly above) and additional lengthy texts are included in the appendices. There are also a great many reproductions of classical Egyptian art, showing each phase of the Osiris story and other images bearing upon his worship. The great wealth of detail, primary information, and original interpretation in this book will make it indispensable to Egyptologists, students of classical civilization and students of comparative religion. Since Osiris seems to have been the earliest death and resurrection god, whose worship both caused and influenced later deities, the cult of Osiris is highly important to all concerned with the development of human culture.WHEN MAKING OFFERS ON LISTINGS PLEASE BE REALISTIC.

This rarely happens as we take care & time to take multiple photos and write an honest & thorough description for EVERY item. "I do not like it," "it's not what I thought it was" "It broke after I used it for two weeks," "I've found another and am returning yours," and so forth are not legitimate reasons for a return. We do not claim to be experts...just a couple trying to make ends meet. You, the buyer, are likely many times more qualified as experts than we are with 99.9% of the items we offer, or you wouldn't be interested in it. If you have a question or concern about any item, please address these before purchase. If a package or item is damaged, we will do our best to assist you in filing a claim with the carrier, but we cannot assume responsibility for the carrier's actions. There are a million opinions on what is the correct type and amount of packaging. Plain and simple, if the carrier drops a 70lb package on a 5 lb package, it's is going to be damaged, and all the peanuts, bubble wrap, etc. in the world are not going to save it. So do not claim insufficient packing as we always use proper packaging. We are not dealers; most items don't have multiples or replacements. Most of everything we sell comes from estates, shelf pulls, returns, and from our customers, etc. If an item is used, it is sold as-is. We test them for powering on and any essential functions if we have the means and sometimes further if it is not a problematic unit. WHEN AN ITEM IS STATED "SOLD AS IS," THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT WE MEAN. It is non-returnable unless we state it powers on and then is received DOA. Obviously, we would accept a return in this case. Shipping Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item or shipping charges. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be before bidding/buying. THERE IS A 20% RESTOCKING FEE FOR ALL RETURNED OR CANCELLED ITEMS
