Paperback. Condition: New. The Babylonian flood story of Atra-hasis is of vital importance to ancient Near Eastern and biblical scholars, as well as students of history, anthropology, and comparative religion. Professors Lambert and Millard provide the reader with a detailed introduction, transliterated Akkadian with English translation, critical notes, and line drawings of the cuneiform tablets.The epic opens in a time when only the gods lived in the universe. Having decided on their established spheres of influence, the chief Mesopotamian gods-Anu, Enlil, and Enki-began their divine labors. In a joint effort, Enki and Mami (the mother goddess) engineered the creation of mankind from clay and the flesh and blood of a slain god. The remainder of the story recounts the expansion of humanity, the consequent irritation of Enki by this expansion, the attempt by Enki and Enlil to destroy humankind through a great flood, and the escape from the flood by Atra-hasis in a boat, accompanied by his possessions, family, and animals.This classic scholarly edition of the epic is once again made available as a quality Eisenbrauns reprint.

Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Condition: VERY GOOD. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 358pp, 75 plates. 4to, Sewn binding in blue cloth, gilt spine lettering. Ex-library with external labels removed; very clean and sharp with sound binding and little evidence of use. 'In Babylonian studies 'Wisdom' is used to cover a group of texts similar in scope to the Biblical Wisdom Books: discussions of suffering, teaching on the good life, fables or context literature and proverbs. These texts are not only of considerable literary merit, but are also of great importance to all students of the ancient Near East in revealing the thought patterns of the ancient Babylonians. In addition to the cuneiform texts, copied direct from the tablets, each work is given in translation, and an introductory chapter sets forth the cosmological background against which the works are to be set. Philological notes and a glossary complete the volume.' (From the DJ flap).
