I am looking for AE creation accounts in general or specifically the creation by Chnum at Esna temple, creation by Kematef/Ir-Ta, Amun, Ptah, Neith, Thoth and the Ogdoad etc. I am looking for full translation (not excerpts only) but also transcription and/or plates. Also I am looking for full DoM to supplement De Buck and the Story of Hor Behetut and his Shemsu. Thank You.

I find the translations to be of very high quality, despite the fact that these translations were written almost a century ago. For texts that have also been translated by e.g. Helck or Lichtheim, the modern translations are often no more than marginally more accurate than Breasted's. If you study Egyptian texts on a regular basis, you may find Breasted's books very useful. The different volumes cover different periods, so not every volume may be equally relevant if you're only interested in texts from one particular period. There is a fifth volume with indexes, but personally I have found very little use for that yet.
