Ancient Egypt is well known for its towering monuments and magnificent statuary, but other aspects of its civilization are less well known, especially its written texts. Now Texts from the Pyramid Age provides ready access to new translations of a representative selection of texts ranging from the historically significant to the repetitive formulae of the tomb inscriptions from Old Kingdom Egypt (ca. 2700-2170 B.C.). Strudwick’s helpful introduction to the history and literature of this seminal period provides important background for reading and understanding these historical texts.

Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org)
