The series of Books of the Dead preserved at
Didlington Hall represents copies of various i
chapters written for twenty-four individuals,
several of whom bore titles of high rank.
Among them occur one for a guard of the
treasury, another for a chief librarian of the
king, a third for a superintendent of the royal
granaries. Several name musicians attached to
the service of the temple of Amen. Others
were written for priests of Amen-Ra, Ra,
Khonsu and other deities. They were pro-
bably all found in the necropolis of Thebes, but
the origin of one of them is alone certain.
This is Papyrus No. XXXV, the first half of
which is now preserved in the British Museum.
This latter part was purchased from the Salt
Collection, and is stated to have come from
Thebes. It measures eighteen inches wide and
about sixteen feet in length. It is one of the
finest hieratic copies of the Book of the Dead
in existence.

of which complete copies, or parts of copies,
