With the second volume of this anthology, the reader will discover various texts from Egypt in the Middle Kingdom and the Second Intermediate Period (approx. 2050-1550 BCE): extracts from the Sarcophagus Texts, "songs of the Harpist", magical rituals intended for the protection of the mother and her child, royal hymns and eulogies, as well as a selection of autobiographies where a few nuggets emerge from a phraseology less codified than it appears.
