These texts are provided here for the benefit of the Internet Community, especially those who are studying ancient Egypt and who live in remote areas, away from library facilities where these would be available. Egyptologists should note that these translations date to 1906: this means (i) copyright has expired; and (ii) the translations may have been superseded in places, as our knowledge of the ancient Egyptian language has advanced since then.
