The text
6 lines · a line number is a link to itself| ref | L0 witness |
|---|---|
| 1 | The Einleitung volume of the standard synoptic edition (wish-list entry 39). ⚑ OPEN: THREE archive.org uploads of the same 1886 work are staged because it could not be told from the metadata which upload carries the Text and Varianten volumes rather than the Einleitung — the Toronto scan (dasaegyptischeto00naviuoft) is verified to be the Einleitung. Whoever works on the Book of the Dead must open all three and keep the best; they are ONE document here because they are one edition. Entry 39's primary source, the Bonn Totenbuch-Projekt, was NOT downloaded: its footer says only "© Totenbuch-Projekt 2026" with no open licence and part of the image material "rechtlich beschränkt". |

Layers as published by the Kemetic project (Yousef Hanna), 2026: Coptic · Cairene · Kemetic, /doc/ancient-egyptian/das-aegyptische-todtenbuch-naville-1886/naville-das-aegyptische-todtenbuch-der-xviii.bis-xx.dynastie-1886.scan/.
What the layers are
The text as its witness or edition has it, original spelling; its dialect is a description and is never standardized.
For Egyptian texts: the transliteration with the editors' marks turned into the symbols ° * < > _ ^ (ruled 2026-09-10). For papyri: the edition's Leiden marks as the same symbols, and the editors' readings beside the scribe's as ‹scribe→editors› (ruled PAP-3).
Standardized Greco-Bohairic spelling and grammar, generated by code from the layer above under the rulings of the project.
The Kemetic alphabet, generated by code from L1.
Quoted translations where they exist, credited; otherwise model drafts, marked as drafts.
