The Liturgy of Funerary Offerings is a book written by E. A. Wallis Budge. It is a comprehensive study of the funerary offerings and rituals practiced in ancient Egypt. The book provides a detailed analysis of the various offerings made to the deceased, including food, drink, and other objects that were believed to be necessary for the afterlife. Budge also explores the different stages of the funerary ritual, from the preparation of the body to the final burial. The book includes translations of the texts that were used in the funerary rituals, as well as illustrations and photographs of the objects that were used in these rituals. The Liturgy of Funerary Offerings is an important resource for anyone interested in the religious practices of ancient Egypt and the beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife.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.
