To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The quotation is from Erman, Life in Ancient Egypt, 306 (English trans. , London, 1894). What follows is based on Maspero, Bibliotheqtie ^gyptologique, ii. 467, n. 3, and 466. Maspero, ibid. , i. 349, ascribes metempsychosis to the Egyptian belief in the age when the country came into contact with Greece. He considers that in later times these theories fell into discredit or even almost entirely disappeared. In a later treatise (the passage first quoted), Maspero modifies this judgment of his, ...in the words : " II ne faut pas oublier que I'assomption de toutes ces formes est purement volontaire et ne marque nuUement le passage de I'ame humaine dans un corps de bete. " Page 127, 11. 25^. On the pre-Buddhistic origin of the Indian belief in metempsychosis, cf. Jacob, A Manual of Hindu Pantheism, ed. 2, p. 25. As I have learned from my colleague, Professor Biihler, that belief arose in an age that cannot be fixed quite accurately, though it fell in a very early period of the Brahman religion and literature.
