Hi Ritva
I have a confession to make. All my Budge books are put away! I'd love to dig them out and have a good laugh too, but unfortunately they've had to make way for other things. Budge will forever take his place among the giants for recognizing the Amarna tablets for what they were. He was an utterly prolific author, no doubt about that and the last time I read Osiris, I couldn't believe all the cannibalism in it, but iirc Europeans were fascinated by cannibalism at the time so he wrote what sold. But nobody today would quote him in scholastic articles. I personally find it somewhat tragic that a man who devoted his life to putting Egyptology on the map is now reviled by the same people whom he devoted his life too.
