Volume Depicts
Egyptian Priests'
Culture and Life

"The Priests of Ancient
Egypt" by Serge Sauneron
(Grove Press) gives a vivid
account of the section of
Egyptian society that vir-
tually shaped its life and
thought for over 3,000
years.
Sauneron depicts a cul-
ture and a way of life corn-
pletely removed from the
contemporary American
experience. Quoting from
the ancient texts and using
a rich assortment of illus-
trations, Sauneron explains
the priests' hierarchy, sac-
red beliefs and writings and
rituals.
The _volume examines the
mysteries of the "Book of
the Dead," the Houses of
Life" and the texts of Exec-
ration. In looking at Egypt's
most spectacular treasures
and monuments — includ-
ing Tutankhamon, Karnak,
Dendereh and Edfu —
Sauneron uncovers their in-
tricate symbolism and
places them clearly within
the Egyptian cosmological
order.
A former director of the
French Oriental Archeolog-
ical Institute in Cairo,
Sauneron has participated
in excavations at Tanis,
Karnak and Deir-el-
Medineh.

Jewish Books

By HERZL SHUR

For Jewish books
Let's cultivate a taste,
And to the Library
Let's make haste.
Let's see our people's char-
acter
The People of the Book,
Let's think of our destiny
And into our history look.
As Jews we must remember
We can not forget .. .
Our people's woes and sor-
rows
Which are not over yet.
In Jewish books is rooted
Our strong foundation,
Both as a people
And as a nation.
In our vast literture
Let's take great pride,
Torah and learning
Is our eternal guide.
So to the library
Let's lift our feet,
For there our glorious past
We shall meet.
