' The book also provides a fine introduction to the text criticism, a tool with considerable potential for Egyptology, particularly for the study of Pyramid and Coffin Texts, Books of the Dead, and other canonical funerary textsThis book is thus a valuable contribution to Egyptology, because it provides evidence that the ancient Egyptians preserved, consulted, and copied canonical texts in regional libraries from at least the New Kingdom onwards. It is also valuable because it suggests that text criticism can be used to reconstruct the transmission histories of such canonical texts.'<br>B.P. Muhs, Journal of the American Oriental Society, 2001.<br>
