| Publisher Description: 1910. A part of the Wisdom of the East series, this work discusses the burden of Isis, being the laments of Isis and Nephthys. The two papyri which these chants are found were both discovered in Luxor, Egypt and that relating particularly to Osiris is written in a hand representing an intermediate stage between hieratic and demotic. The chants of Isis were found inside a statue of Osiris, by M. Passalaqua. The date of the texts from which the present translations are made approximates 300 B.C. |
