Extract

In the year 1857 Sir Charles Nicholson returned to London after a visit to Upper Egypt, where he had made a large collection of objects of antiquarian interest, including several stelae, sepulchral inscriptions, papyri, and inscribed linen cloth. Amongst the latter was one containing, in hieroglyphic writing, a part of the 129th chapter of the Book of the Dead. The document is itself of no particular interest. It presents a few new homophons. From the style of writing it is of an early date, and is probably of a period contemporaneous with the XVIIIth dynasty.
