This English translation was created by the Scriptural Research Institute in 2021, primarily from the hieratic transcription by Vladimir Golenishchev (W. Golénischeff) in Les papyrus hiératiques (1913). Additionally, the following translations and commentaries were consulted for comparison: W.K. Flinders Petrie’s translation in Egyptian Tales, IVth to XIIth Dynasty, First Series (1899), and A.H. Gardiner’s Notes on the Tale of the Shipwrecked Sailor in Zeitschrift für Ägyptische Sprache und Altertumskunde number 40 (1909).
The image used for the cover is an artistic reinterpretation of ‘The funeral rites of a mummy on the Nile’ by Frederick Arthur Bridgman, painted between 1876 and 1877.
Note: The notes for this book includes Egyptian hieroglyphs. For your convenience, fonts correctly depicting these scripts are embedded in the ebook. If your reader does not support embedded fonts, you will need to install Unicode fonts that cover the range for Egyptian hieroglyphs on your reader manually, or you may see blank areas, question marks, or squares where the scripts are used. The Noto fonts from Google cover most of the scripts used, however, will not depict Egyptian hieroglyphs correctly due to current limitations in Unicode. Unicode does not currently support the hieratic script, and therefore all hieratic terms are transliterated into the Latin alphabet.
