Autorenporträt
E. A. Wallis Budge was a prominent English Egyptologist, Orientalist, and philologist who worked diligently at the British Museum over a career spanning decades. Born as Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis Budge on July 27, 1857, in Bodmin, Cornwall, he fostered an early interest in ancient cultures and languages that swiftly propelled him into academia. Budge attended Cambridge University, where he focused on Semitic languages, but his true passion lay with the script and religion of ancient Egypt. He joined the British Museum in 1883 and ultimately became the Keeper of the Department of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities. Throughout his tenure, he led a series of excavations in Egypt and Sudan, during which he acquired a vast collection of manuscripts and artifacts for the museum. Budge's prolific literary career included the translation and analysis of many Egyptian texts; among his most enduring works is 'The Book of the Dead', a compendium of ancient Egyptian funerary texts that remains a reference for scholars and lay enthusiasts alike. Critics have occasionally disputed his translations and methods, which reflect the scholarly practices of his time more than current academic standards. Nonetheless, his contributions to Egyptology have been instrumental in promoting the study of ancient Egypt, and his works continue to captivate the imagination of readers fascinated by the civilization of the Nile. Sir E. A. Wallis Budge passed away on November 23, 1934, leaving behind a legacy of scholarly work that bridges the past and present.
