Frequently, also, the words are added--"Son of Osiris and son of Isis." Compare Bunsen's iEgypten's Stelle in der Weltgeschichte, Plate xiv. (2) p. 33. The sacred books of the Old Egyptians contain, according to Clement of Alexandria, Strom-vi. 4, S. 757, not only hymns to the gods and directions for the life of the king, but they treat also of the particular branches of astronomy, cosmography, geography, the Nile, the estates and furniture of the temples, sacrifices, prayers, festive processions, feasts, laws, and all parts of medical science. The legends themselves place the time of the composition of these writings in the earliest reigns of the old kingdom; and that in fact they must have been very old is evident from thi...
