Book Synopsis
An influential scholar of the 19th century, Muller published his overview of ancient Egyptian mythology as a section of The Mythology of All Races, Volume XII published by the Marshall Jones Company, Boston, in 1918. His arrangement is by the entities worshipped, such as local gods, the sun the Osirian cycle, and foreign gods; but he also considers life after death, ethics, and cult, and magic. He includes much of the literature associated with religion. Like the original, this facsimile edition is not indexed. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
