The Papyrus Of Ani.
The text may be divided into two parts. The first part contains unusual versions of two hymns to Ra and
Osiris, the vignette of the sunrise (Chapter XVIA.), and the judgment Scene accompanied by texts, some
of which occur in no other papyrus. The second part comprises about sixty-two Chapters of the Theban
edition of the Book, in the following order:--I., XXII. LXXII., rubric, XVII., CXLVII., CXLVI., XVIII.,
XXIII., XXIV., XXVI. XXXB., LXI., LIV., XXIX., XXVII., LVIII., LIX., XLIV., XLV., XLVI., L.,
XCIII., XLIII., LXXXIX., XCI., XCII., LXXIV., VIII., II., IX., CXXXII., X., [XLVIII.], XV.,
CXXXIII., CXXXIV., XVIII., CXXIV., LXXXVI., LXXVII., LXXVIII., LXXXVII., LXXXVIII.,

Negative Confession, XLII., CXXV., Rubric, CLV., CLVI., XXIXB., CLXVI., CLI., VI., CX.,
CXLVIII., CLXXXV., and CLXXXVI. The titles of these Chapters arranged according to the numeration
introduced by Lepsius are as follows :--
List of Chapters.
Chapter I. "Here begin the chapters of 'coming forth by day,' and of the songs of praise and of glorifying,
and of coming forth from and of going into the glorious Neter-khert in the beautiful Amenta; to be said
on the day of the burial going in after coming forth." (See pp. 19, 270 and pll. 5, 6.)
The papyri belonging to the early part of the XVIIth dynasty call this Chapter the "Chapter of going in to
the divine chiefs of Osiris," ###. The large numbers of the men attending the bier and of the weeping
women are peculiar to the Ani papyrus.
Chapter II. "The Chapter of coming forth by day and of living after death." (See pp. 120, 321, and pl. 18.)
This Chapter is found only in one other papyrus of the Theban period (British Museum, No. 9964).
Another copy of it is inscribed upon a mummy bandage preserved in the Louvre, No. 3097.'
Chapter VI.--[See Chapter CLI., of which it forms a part, pp. 233, 362, and pl. 32.] In the papyrus of
Nebseni (British Museum, No. 9900) this Chapter stands by itself, and is entitled "Chapter of making the
ushabti figures to perform work for a man in the Neter-khert,"
[1. See Naville, Einleitung, p. 103.]
{p. cxlvii}
Chapter VIII. "The Chapter of passing through Amenta, and of coming forth by day." (See pp. 119, 320,
and pl. 18.)
As a separate composition, this Chapter is found in only two other papyri of the XVIIIth dynasty.[1]
Chapter IX. "The Chapter of coming forth by day, having passed through the tomb." (See pp. 120, 321,
and pl. 18.)
The vignette in the papyrus of Ani is similar to that which stands at the head of Chapters VIII. and IX. in
other papyri of this period.
Chapter X. [See Chapter XLVIII., pp. 123, 321, and pl. 18.]
Chapter XV. 1. "A hymn of praise to Ra when he riseth in the eastern sky." (See pp. 1, 236, and pl. I.)
This version is found in no other papyrus.
