The story of Ahikar has appeared in various forms and numerous
languages over the course of the last two and a half millennia.
Long known to readers of the Arabian Nights, it was not until the
end of the nineteenth century that scholars began to suspect that
the legend had semi-biblical origins. Cambridge University Press
had already published the first edition of The Story of Ahikar in
1898 when an enlarged and corrected second edition was prompted by
the discovery of a series of Aramaic papyrus fragments on the
island of Elephantine, dating from the fifth century before Christ.
It is the second edition of The Story of Ahikar, first published in
1913, which is reproduced here. Meticulously assembled, this
edition contains the Armenian, Old Turkish, Syriac, and Arabic
versions of the story in their original source language with
accompanying English translations. Also included are translations
of the Slavonic, Ethiopic, and Aramaic versions, as well as
fragments of the sayings and parables of Ahikar and the Greek text
of the story.
