EspañolPAPYRUS OF ANI
The 'Papyrus of Ani' is a papyrus manuscript written in cursive hieroglyphs from the 19th dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt.
Egyptians compiled an individualized book for each person at their death, called the "Book of Going Forth by Day". This book is more commonly known as the Book of the Dead. It usually contained declarations and spells to help the deceased in their afterlife. The "Book of the Dead" for scribe Ani from Thebes is the manuscript called the 'Papyrus of Ani'.
It was purchased in 1888 by Sir E. A. Wallis Budge for the collection of the British Museum where it remains today.
Before shipping the manuscript to England, Budge controversially cut the 78 foot scroll into 37 sheets of nearly equal size; he had damaged the scroll's integrity at a time when technology had not yet allowed the pieces to be put back together.
