Greetings,
I'd like to prevail on the collective experience of this list if I may?
I am thinking of buying the Oxford Encyclopaedia of Ancient Egypt,
Redford editor. However reports are that the images are rubbish. Is it
still worth buying? Is there an upcoming revision planned? Is it
available on CD? It seems to be available as an online subscription... I
asked the publishers but they haven't replied. Is there something better
to buy?
More particularly I'd like something on Egyptian ontology, especially
about the nature of the soul. I'm reading Uzdavinys' Philosophy as a
Rite of Rebirth atm and, so far, I highly recommend it. It's a pleasant
escape from the confines of rigid rationalism, straight into the arms of
praxis. Can anyone recommend anything else please? English preferred.
