The late W.G. Lambert (1926-2011) was one of the foremost Assyriologists of the latter part of the twentieth century. His principle legacy is a large number of superb critical editions of Babylonian literary compositions. Many of the texts he edited were on religious and mythological subjects. He will always be remembered as the editor of the Babylonian Job (Ludlul bel nemeqi, also known as the Poem of the Righteous Sufferer), the Babylonian Flood Story (Atra-hasis) and the Babylonian Creation Epic (Enuma elish). The present book is a collection of twenty-three essays Lambert published between the years 1958 and 2004. These endure not only as the legacy of one of the greatest authorities on ancient Mesopotamian religion and mythology, but also because each makes statements of considerable validity and importance. As such, many are milestones in the fields of Mesopotamian religion and mythology.

Gr.-8°, Ln. m. SU. XVI, 279 S. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // W.G. Lambert (19262011) war einer der führenden Assyriologen der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Sein Vermächtnis besteht hauptsächlich aus einer großen Anzahl ausgezeichneter kritischer Editionen babylonischer Literatur. Viele der Texte, die er edierte, behandelten die Themen Religion und Mythologie. Man wird seiner immer als des Editors des babylonischen Hiob ( Ludlul bel nemeqi, auch bekannt als die Dichtung vom leidenden Gerechten), der babylonischen Sintflut-Erzählung ( Atra ?asis) und des babylonischen Schöpfungs-Mythos ( Enuma eli) gedenken. Der vorliegende Band versammelt dreiundzwanzig seiner Aufsätze zu diesen Themen, welche er zwischen 1958 und 2004 veröffentlichte. Diese haben nicht nur als das Vermächtnis eines ganz großen Gelehrten auf dem Gebiet der antiken mesopotamischen Religion und Mythologie Bestand, sondern auch weil ihre Aussagen von fortdauernder Gültigkeit und Wichtigkeit sind. Viele dieser Aufsätze sind Meilensteine auf ihrem Gebiet. ISBN: 9783161536748 Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 665. Seller Inventory # 19053

His principle legacy is a large number of superb critical editions of Babylonian literary compositions. Many of the texts he edited were on religious and mythological subjects. He will always be remembered as the editor of the Babylonian Job ( Ludlul bel nemeqi, also known as the Poem of the Righteous Sufferer), the Babylonian Flood Story ( Atra-hasis) and the Babylonian Creation Epic ( Enuma elish). Decades of deep engagement with these and other ancient Mesopotamian texts gave direction to much of his research and led him to acquire a deep knowledge of ancient Mesopotamian religion and mythology. The present book is a collection of twenty-three essays published by the scholar between the years 1958 and 2004. These endure not only as the legacy of one of the greatest authorities in this specialist field, but also because each makes statements of considerable validity and importance. As such, many are milestones in the fields of Mesopotamian religion and mythology. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
