Autoren-Porträt von E. A. Wallis Budge
E. A. Wallis Budge was a renowned Egyptologist and Orientalist whose work at the turn of the 20th century was influential in the field of Egyptology. Born in 1857 in Cornwall, England, Sir Ernest Alfred Thompson Wallis Budge had a prolific career that involved studying and translating numerous ancient texts. His scholarship at the British Museum, where he was eventually appointed as Keeper of the Department of Egyptology, solidified his reputation as an authority on ancient Egyptian religion and language. Budge's writings, particularly 'Egyptian Ideas of the Future Life' (1899), reflect his deep engagement with the beliefs and practices concerning the afterlife in ancient Egyptian culture. He was known for his emphasis on the importance of funerary texts and his work in translating the Book of the Dead. Budge's literary style can be described as accessible and aimed at both scholarly and popular audiences, an approach that contributed to his widespread influence at the time but later drew criticism from peers who favored more rigorous methodologies. Despite controversies over his translation techniques and the acquisition of artifacts under colonial contexts, Budge's works continue to be referenced for their comprehensive nature and historical significance in the study of Egyptology. He was knighted in 1920 and continued to write until his death in 1934.
