DEATH AS AN ENEMY ACCORDING TO ANCIENT EGYPTIAN CONCEPTIONS BY J. ZANDEE, THEOL. D. ¥15607ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS With the completion of this book I wish to state my sincere thanks to all those who have in any way contributed to it. Foremost among these was my former teacher, the late Prof. Dr A. de Buck, under whose guidance the present book was prepared as a doctoral thesis for the Faculty of Literature and Philosophy of Leiden University. He spent many hours reading through and dis cussing the manuscript and I have profited aot a little from his good advise. ‘The years during which T had the privilege of being his pupil will always be amohg my best remembrances. Prof. Dr H. P. Blok very kindly stood ready to take the place of Prof. de Buck after the Iatter’s decease Prof. Dr J. Vandier, Cirator in Chief of the Egyptian Department of the Louvre Museum, granted me access to unpublished papyri and permitted me to have a Ipok at the Papyrus Jumilhac which he will publish in the course of 1960. Dr P. Barguet, a scient}ic official of the Louvre Museum, placed his bureau at my disposal and gavein every respect indispensable assistance. Daring a stay at Paris the help of Prof. Dr G. Posener was very valuable and the contact, with Professors Clére and Malinine was important. ‘The Executive Committee of the International Association for the History of Religions fostéred the publication of the present book in the series “Supplements|to NVMEN.” Especially helpful in this matter were the formet ¢hairman, the late Prof. De R. Pettazzoni, and the secretary, Prof. Dr C. J. Bleeker. Mrs. W. P. Klasens-var| det Loo made the translation into English in a most accurate mannéf. She was assisted by her husband Dr A. Klasens, Director of the| Museum of Antiquities at Leiden. Last, but not least, I desire to record the support of the Netherlands Organization for the Advancement of Pure Research (Z.W.O.) which enabled me to wotk for two months in the Louvre Museum in 1953 and subsidised tHe translation and the publication. Without the most appreciated aid of the above mentioned persons and organizations it would have been impossible to finish the book. ‘Therefore, the author withes to express his deep gratitude to all of them,CONTENTS Acknowledgements List Par.
