Editor's Review
I had the pleasure of putting together and editing this work, seeking to create something useful for readers: a definitive collection of Ancient Egyptian spells.
19th-century scholars assembled huge collections of spells in a way which was not accessible for the layman's interest. This book sought to change that.
I am pleased with the response so far, which has been very positive.
