This fragment is a small section from an over 10 meter long Book of the Dead, whose fragments have been dispersed throughout many museums. The scholar Irmatraut Munro has worked to reconstruct it and has located fragments at the Völkerkundemuseum der von Portheim-Stiftung, Heidelberg, The National Library in Budapest, The Egyptian Museum in Cairo, The Victoria Museum at Uppsala University, Sweden amongst others. See pp. 53-54, pls. 38-42 and illustrated pls. 35-40A in I. Munro, Die Totenbuch-Papyri des Ehepaars Ta-scheret-en-Aset und Djed-chi aus der Bes-en-Mut-Familie: (26. Dynastie, Zeit des Ko¨nigs Amasis).
Djedkhonsefankh was a popular name amongst high ranking officials and there are several known throughout the Thrid Intermediate Period onwards. J. Van Dyke suggests that this individual belongs to the well-known Besenmut family, who was born to Lady Tairyt and held a number of priestly offices in the temple of Amun. There is some suggestion that Djedkhonsefankh's family was related to the family of the great governor and priest Mentuemhat, the owner of the largest tomb in the Theban area including the Valley of the Kings but it is impossible to know for sure.
