Abstract
The present study deals with textual tradition and transmission in the Late Period, focusing on selected spells from the Coffin Texts from the shaft tomb of priest Iufaa in Abusir. Since many spells found in Iufaa's tomb are not preserved elsewhere in the Late Period and sometimes exist in highly fragmentary versions from the Middle Kingdom, analysis of Iufaa's versions of these texts significantly contribute to the existing translations and interpretations of some Coffin Texts spells.
