Among the more than 200 known chapters of the Book of the Dead genre chapters 7 and 39 are entirely devoted to Apopis, the representative of darkness and chaos in Egyptian mythology. The present edition contains a translation of and extensive commentary on the text of the longer of the two, chapter 39, with a hieroglyphic transcription of six representative manuscripts from the 18th Dynasty down to the Ptolemaic period. Apopis, the rebel against cosmic order, is traditionally represented as a giant serpent and documented in a great number of cosmological and ritual texts of the Middle Kingdom and later. He is the ever-returning opponent of the sun god Re', trying to halt the course of the sun boat. His emerging from the chaos waters is especially feared at night. Although time and again the attack is repelled and Apopis driven back or bound and annihilated by the sun god's helpers, he always resurges and continues to be a threat to the cosmic balance. Precisely this is the theme of chapter 39, which is less a description of events than a violent vociferation on the part of gods and goddesses against the enemy. An attempt is made in the commentary to reconstruct the course of events.

The true title of The Book of the Dead of the ancient Egyptians is The Book of Coming Forth by Day, with 'day' being a reference not only to the world of the living, but also to any luminous principle opposed to darkness, oblivion, annihilation, and death. According to the religion of Ancient Egypt, the deceased sought to travel on the boat of the sun-god Ra and cross the realm of Osiris, the god of the dead. To guide it in the other world, the dead carried its funerary book with itself. These are rolls of papyrus, covered with mortuary formulas, placed next to the mummy in the sarcophagi. Each Book of the Dead is different, one being written for each person. This occurred because the beneficiary chose the formulas that suited it, probably according to what it could afford, since the production of these manuscripts represented a significant investment. For this reason, some Books of the Dead are shorter and less elaborate, while others contain almost all known formulas and prayers and were richly illuminated. This edition brings an anthology of hymns compiled from several Egyptian funerary books, the Book of the Dead of priests, officials, singers, dancers, and others who lived and died millennia ago, in an extremely religious society. In addition to the original hymns, this book contains an introduction to the Book of the Dead, written by the prestigious English archaeologist and Egyptologist Wallis E. A. Budge.
