The Papyrus of Nebseni (BMEA 9900)

This paper contains transcriptions of chapter 180 from the Book of the Dead, and a brief discussion of the sources. Chapter 180 occurs twice in the Nebseni Papyrus, in both cases copied backwards from the master copy, and both are published here. The paper also collects together other known New Kingdom versions of chapter 180, and places the texts in parallel to each other. This paper forms a companion text to the author's full publication of the Nebseni Papyrus, which will form part of The British Museum's monograph series, Catalogue of the Books of the Dead.
