ALL IMAGES © 1994. JAMES WASSERMAN Re-creating a Classic The book designer of a new edition of The Egyptian Book of the Dead describes how this ancient text was integrated and enhanced by modern technology. BY JIM WASSERMAN
PERHAPS THE BEST KNOWN VIGNETTE from The Book of the Dead, the Weighing of the Heart depicts the setting of the after-death judgment of Ani's soul. As Ani and Tutu look on, Anubis, the God of Embalming, adjusts the scale to balance Ani's heart against the feather ofMaat, the goddess of Truth and Balance. Thoth, the God of Writing, records the result. Ammit, the crocodile-headed monster, waits to consume those who are judged impure. TWENTY- ONE YEARS AGO, I WENT to work for Samuel Weiser's Occult Bookstore in New York City. My lunch hours were dedicated to exploring the basement, which was legendary for its collection of rare volumes amassed over so years by the world's leading specialists in metaphysical books. 21 Among the many stacks was an 1890 facsimile edition of the Papyrus ofAni, one of the funerary scrolls known as The Egyptian Book of the Dead. Holding the delicate, oversized volume, I was overwhelmed by the intensity and brilliance of its 35oo-year-old color images and was filled with a passion that has never waned.
