The reprinting of the third volume of the authoritative English translation of Middle Kingdom coffin texts brings the whole set back into print. 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.
