Enuma Elish, the Babylonian version of the story of creation,
predates much of the Book of Genesis. Passed down orally for
generations until finally being recorded on seven clay tablets,
this epic was discovered by 19th-century archeologists among the
ruins of the Library of King Ashurbanipal in modern-day Iraq.
Translator and editor L.W. King has divided the Seven Tablets of
Creation into two volumes. Volume 1 contains the English
translation of each of the seven tablets, plus sections on the
composition of the poem, parallels in Hebrew literature, and the
reconstruction and arrangement of the text. Here, in Volume 2,
readers will find other accounts of the history of creation, an
index, a glossary, and numerous indices and appendices. Religious
scholars and anyone interested in human origins will enjoy King's
translation of and commentary on this classic, first published in
1902. British classical scholar LEONARD W. KING (1869-1919) was
Assistant Keeper of Egyptian and Assyrian Antiquities at the
British Museum and professor of Assyrian and Babylonian archaeology
at the University of London, King's College. He also wrote
Babylonian Magic and Sorcery (1896) and A History of Sumer and
Akkad (1910).
