User:Vorziblix/Great Hymn to Osiris



This is an edition of the 18th Dynasty Egyptian Great Hymn to Osiris, as found on the Stela of (Louvre C 286). The hieroglyphic text follows photographs of the original stela, with reference to its transcription in Moret 1931 where helpful. Transliteration and translation are my own, but with occasional consultation of Erman 1927, Lichtheim 1976, Foster 1995, and Assmann 1999 where interpretation was difficult or ambiguous. Since this translation is made for use in Wiktionary quotations, it errs more on the side of being literal than literary.

The line breaks here are made for convenience, but comments of numbers in the wiki markup of the hieroglyphic text indicate the original line numbering. The section headings are also modern and made for convenience.
