Summary: Warning: not for the beginner
Comment: This is indeed a fine work for its time. However, if you are not alredy experienced in reading hieroglyphics, then you won't catch all the mistakes made by the late Sir Wallis Budge. This doesn't mean it is entirely useless, though. Those who ridicule Budge for his flawed interpretations fail to take into account that he wrote over a hundred years ago. I would recomend this to the serious student, but beware of the little flaws and mistakes that would make a professor shudder.

Summary: The Only BD's Dictionary as yet
Comment: It is nice to count with an ordered and clear vocabulary to the Theban recension of the BD, the more so when there is no other similar work in the market. Readers of Budge know him very well, so that warnings against his sometimes carelesness in transcribing the hieroglyphs and the old ways of transliterating them are unnecessary. Pay attention to the meanings of the terms: most of them are in bad need of a revision, but if the reader has more actual dictionaries (such as Faulkner's or Lesko's) there is no way to be mistaken. A great but rather out-of-date work, which must be used carefully by the beginners. For those engaged in ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, a must and a doorway to understand better one of the most ancient religious texts of Humankind.
