Product Description
I recommend this to scholars of ancient literature as well as perhaps archaeologists and philologists. This is NOT the Epic of Gilgamesh. Rather it is a scholarly work about the Assyrian tablets themselves: the discovery of the tablets, comparison with other textual sources of the epic, and even transliteration of the Babylonian and/or Assyrian in lengthy passages. You will read much more Assyrian and Babylonian Gilgamesh here than you will English Gilgamesh.
