Wallis Budge carefully explores the cult of Osiris by studying many Egyptian texts and the writings of authors like Herodotus, Diodorus, and Plutarch. He also looks at recent research from Sudan and other African regions. Budge connects the worship of Osiris to African religions. He examines topics such as the meaning of the name \"Osiris\" (which is \"Asar\" in Egyptian), the symbols linked to him, and ideas about the heaven of Osiris from the VIth dynasty. He discusses Osiris’s connections to cannibalism, human sacrifice, and dancing. Osiris is also viewed as an ancestral spirit, judge of the dead, moon-god, and bull-god. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eLarge colour fold-out frontispiece in both volumes, b\u0026amp;w illustrations, fold-out charts. \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e publishers cloth boards with gilt impressed panel on front boards, Osiris hieroglyph to spine, slight shelfwear with only faint sunning to spine, small portion of the board damaged along the edges (see photos), clean copies in Very Good condition \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/9827\/4949\/files\/0FFBEE37-04BE-41AB-880F-46B35A3A50A2.jpg?v=1746825356\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/9827\/4949\/files\/07EA207E-5533-4FBA-B0FD-201D12C70CE9.jpg?v=1746825356\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/9827\/4949\/files\/C7F129DE-8E50-4FC7-AB49-4B3E52D0BD0D.jpg?v=1746825350\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/9827\/4949\/files\/CA92C25A-7DEA-41E6-AE30-3440D4E19D89.jpg?v=1746825350\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0306\/9827\/4949\/files\/EC026B52-9369-4400-AD30-0BC83889E26F.jpg?v=1746825350\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rose Books \u0026 Obscurities","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54360432705846,"sku":null,"price":660.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0989\/4182\/9430\/files\/96585B88-35CA-49B8-A9CE-60A4731D124B.jpg?v=1785669442","url":"https:\/\/enclothin.com\/products\/osiris-and-the-egyptian-resurrection-by-e-a-wallis-budge","provider":"enclothin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
