The Bandlet of Righteousness: An Ethiopian Book of the Dead is a book written by E. A. Wallis Budge. It is a translation of the Ethiopian text known as the ""Bandlet of Righteousness"" or ""The Book of the Dead"" which is a collection of prayers and spells intended to guide the soul of the deceased through the afterlife.
