This two volume set conveys both historical/mythical information concerning Eygptian religious practices and Budge's perceptions of how and why they were practiced. Budge is enamored of the Egyptians and it is demonstrated in his work not just an academician Budge attempted to reconcile his western upbringing with the beauty and philosophy of the Egyptians and their influence on the world. While there have been recent translations from the German and French which add to and perhaps change some of the concepts it in no way takes from the cosmology as interpreted by Budge. That Osiris and his myth was a major factor in the history of Egypt and its religious and philosophical growth is demonstrated by these two volumes from Budge. These were 5 star books when first published and they remain 5 star even with new findings and "new age experts" writing their own interpretations.
2 Vols is always 2 Vols is still 2 Vols.

It is incredible to me that you are listing both the 1973 and 1988 editions of this book as single volumes when they are both 2-volume sets. You did this with Oahspe, which, for me, you are correcting. It looks to me like you need a volume checker for every book you sell. Sincerely, George B. Riddle Jr.
