Books By E.A. Wallis Budge


I have added the books of E.A. Wallis Budge for those who are interested in Egytology and want a an easily accessible and inexpensive place to start. All of these books were written almost a century ago, and although they are included here, the reader is encouraged to seek out more "up to date" sources when doing any serious research. I do not personally recommend them for anything other than comparison to what we know now to what was known in Budge's time in the field of Egyptology. Our knowlege base has grown considerably since these books were published.
