[Reprinted from the 1911 edition] `The oldest and greatest of Egyptian librarians was then the god Thoth, the Moon god, Hermes to the Greeks, Mercury to the Romans, Nabu to the Babylonians, scribe of the gods.' (p. 13) Subjects left out of the main paper and treated in the supplementary paper `relate to what may be called the interpretation of the library gods, Seshait as Hathor, the assistant library gods, the prophet as ex-officio librarian, the books of Thoth, and the library of secret writings.' (p. 57) The assistant library gods are thus invoked in the Book of the Dead: "Oh ye seven Divine Masters who are the arms of the Balance on the Night wherein the Eye is fixed; ye who strike off the heads and cleave the necks, who seize the hearts and drag forth the whole hearts, and accomplish the slaughter in the Tank of Flame . live in me and let me live in you. Convey to me the Symbol of Life and the Sceptre." (p. 69f.). Binding is Paperbound.
