The Papyrus of Ani is a papyrus from the 19th dynasty of the New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt. It contains portions of the Book of Going Forth by Day, more commonly known as the Book of the Dead.
The scroll was part of the burial of the scribe Ani of the city of Thebes.
It was purchased in 1888 by Sir E. A. Wallis Budge for the collection of the British Museum where it remains today. Before shipment to England the 78 foot scroll was cut into 37 sheets of nearly equal size.
