The present book systematically collects the earliest attestations of the myth of the Flood, namely all the cuneiform-written Akkadian sources - from the Old Babylonian to the Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian periods, including Tablet XI of the Epic of Gilgamesh -, presenting them in a new synoptic edition and English translation which are accompanied by a detailed philological commentary and an extensive literary discussion. The book also includes a complete glossary of the Akkadian sources.FloodAkkadian languageTextsCuneiform inscriptions, AkkadianAkkadian languageCuneiform inscriptions, Akkadian.492.1Wasserman Nathan857393NjHacINjHaclBOOK9910720523103321The Flood2211459UNINA
