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, which are combined in this book. In
Volume 1, readers will find 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. 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).
