An Old Babylonian Version of the Gilgamesh Epic
by Morris Jastrow Jr., Ph.D., LL.D. & Albert T. Clay, Ph.D., LL.D., Litt.D.

"The Gilgamesh Epic is the most notable literary product of Babylonia as yet discovered in the mounds of Mesopotamia. It recounts the exploits and adventures of a favorite hero, and in its final form covers twelve tablets, each tablet consisting of six columns (three on the obverse and three on the reverse) of about 50 lines for each column, or a total of about 3600 lines. Of this total, however, barely more than one-half has been found among the remains of the great collection of cuneiform tablets gathered by King Ashurbanapal (668–626 B.C.) in his palace at Nineveh, and discovered by Layard in 18541 in the course of his excavations of the mound Kouyunjik (opposite Mosul). The fragments of the epic painfully gathered—chiefly by George Smith—from the circa 30,000 tablets and bits of tablets brought to the British Museum were published in model form by Professor Paul Haupt;2 and that edition still remains the primary source for our study of the Epic." -- From Introduction

Reviews:

"The title to this piece basically says it all. More specifically, however, I would like to profess my love for this story more personally.

I am a religious scholar and existential philosopher based out of the University of Minnesota in the Twin Cities.

It is part of my job, therefore, to be well acquainted with the myths and epics of literally thousands of nations and cultures from a multitude of time periods. Yet, after all of these I still come back, again and again, to the Epic of Gilgamesh. The tale of this once great, albeit tyrannical, king is so moving and at the same time altogether different from any other epic claiming to be its peer. Let me be frank, The Epic of Gilgamesh has no peer!

It is far and away the most complex and touching tale ever written. I implore the reader of this review to by this epic as soon as possible. I have no doubt that it will change your life as it has mine."
-- Anthony R. Meyer
