* '''see pg 88:''' Mark L. Troy, ''Mummeries of Resurrection, The Cycle of Osiris in Finnegans Wake'' (1976): "The image of Osiris' literal erection from the dead, effected by Isis in the shape of a bird (see also "The Quest of Isis", below) is a vivid one. It is central to the cycle of Osiris, and important in FW. Mr. Slomczynski has discovered that, within the text of FW, we are referred to a photographic plate depicting the act. This happens at 6.32: "well, see peegee ought he ought, platterplate." If we observe the aural value of the phrase, and follow the suggestion of "see pg eighty-eight" in Moret's Rois et Dieux d'Egypte (1911, reprinted soon after the opening of Tutankhamen's tomb and popular at that time), we will find a "platterplate", that is a plate of "dished" or fallen Osiris, roused by Isis. This plate, reproduced here as fig. II, is titled "The Wake of Osiris" ("Veillée funèbre d'Osiris-Ounnefer mort")." ** [http://www.trentu.ca/faculty/jjoyce/mummeries/troybook.htm ''Mummeries of Resurrection, The Cycle of Osiris in Finnegans Wake''] ** [http://ia351419.us.archive.org/2/items/roisetdieuxdgyp00moregoog/roisetdieuxdgyp00moregoog.pdf ''Rois et Dieux d'Égypte''] * '''P.G.:''' please God
