This book proposes that Coffin Texts spells 154–160, recorded at the beginning of the 2nd millennium BCE, form the oldest composition about the moon in ancient Egypt and, indeed, the world. Based on a new translation, the detailed analysis of these spells reveals that they provide a chronologically ordered account of the phenomena of a lunar month.

This volume shows the hieroglyphic text and English translation of each of the first ten spells from The Egyptian Coffin Texts 1: Texts of Spells 1-75 by Adriaan De Buck, published by the Oriental Institute and Chicago University Press in 1935. In 1973, nearly 4 decades later, R. O. Faulkner published a three volume summary translation of spells 1 to 1185. Now we have begun to take a fresh look at the coffin texts in this translation and commentary, which includes the historical background of the coffin texts as told by James Henry Breasted. The introductory material includes a history of the Egyptian calendar that suggests its beginning may date to the eleventh millennium B.C.E., and commentary on the Pyramid Texts, the Coffin Texts, Book of the Dead and how some of the ideas from these ancient texts have been preserved in the Holy Bible.

Faulkner's authoritative English translation of Middle Kingdom coffin texts is essential for all Egyptologists. This new edition reprints his whole work in one volume. Filling the gap between the `Pyramid' texts and the New Kingdom Book of the Dead, these writings were intended to supply the deceased with the speeches he would need to achieve a secure and important position in the next world. As such they supply valuable insights into Egyptian beliefs and mortuary practices. Concise textual notes are kept to a minimum, allowing the character of the texts to be experienced as a whole. Indexes cover divinities, localities, celestial bodies, selected Egyptian words in translation and also the parts of boats and sailing gear that figure prominently in some spells.

The Pyramid Texts are the oldest body of extant literature from ancient Egypt. First carved on the walls of the burial chambers in the pyramids of kings and queens of the Old Kingdom, they provide the earliest comprehensive view of the way in which the ancient Egyptians understood the structure of the universe, the role of the gods, and the fate of human beings after death. Their importance lies in their antiquity and in their endurance throughout the entire intellectual history of ancient Egypt. This volume contains the complete translation of the Pyramid Texts, including new texts recently discovered and published. It incorporates full restorations and readings indicated by post-Old Kingdom copies of the texts and is the first translation that presents the texts in the order in which they were meant to be read in each of the original sources.
