PREFACE

Although the British Museum possesses numerous Babylonian

literary texts, the official publications issued by the Trustees until now

have contained relatively little of this class. The present volume will, it

is hoped, make some amends for this deficiency.

From its contents, in particular, knowledge of the Epic of Atrabasis

is very substantially increased, indeed the new tablets of this text pub-

lished here mark without doubt the biggest single advance in the recovery

of Babylonian epic literature since George Smith's original discoveries.

Furthermore, since substantial new Late Babylonian fragments of the

Gilgamesh Epic have been found and previously known pieces have been

cleaned and joined, it became desirable to present here all the Late

Babylonian pieces of this Epic so far identified in the Museum's collec-

tions. Among the historiographical texts, one especially should be noted:

no. 45, which has many aspects previously unknown in Babylonian litera-

ture, including a very detailed and vivid account of a river ordeal.

Except for no. 17, which is by the late Th. G. Pinches, the copies

are the work of Messrs. W. G. Lambert (nos. 4-13, 18-42, 45-50, and

52-55) and A. R. Millard (nos. 1-3, 14-16, 43-44, and 51). The introductory

pages are by Mr. Lambert. All will be grateful to them for their fruitfullabours.

Keeper.

SUMMARY CATALOGUE

1-15: The Epic of Atrabasis. (Nos. 1-4 from a late Old Babylonian edition; nos. 5-15

from Late Assyrian copies.)

1. Tablet I of a.three-tablet edition written by Ellet-Aya, a junior scribe, in the

first month of the twelfth year of Ammisaduqa. The loss of the opening and clos-

ing lines of some columns prevents a continuous line numeration. The tablet is

ruled for each full line, but often little of the rulings is visible, so they are omit-

ted altogether from the copy.

2. Flake from another copy of Tablet I. The lines preserved in the second

column correspond to no. 1 II 47-III 10.

3. Tablet III from the same edition and scribe as no. 1. The piece published by

A. Boissier in RA 28 (1931) 92-95, now in the Musee d'art et d'histoire at Geneva,

is probably part of this tablet, belonging to the upper right-hand side.

4. Part of a copy of Tablet I written in six columns, of which some of II, III and

IV is preserved. A copy was first given by Th. G. Pinches in CT VI 5, and a

second by S. Langdon in PBS X/1 pls. III-IV (=Le Poeme pl. X). The tablet was

baked and cleaned for J. Laessoe, and on the basis of his collations and photo-

graphs W. von Soden gave an improved text and illegible photographs in

Orientalia n.s. 26 (1957) 306-315. The copy given here offers further improvements.

5. Not strictly Atrabasis, but a fragment of a bilingual epic dealing with some,

at least, of the same material. K 11624 only was published by T. Jacobsen, The

Sumerian King List, p. 217, from a copy of F. Geers. A fragment of a Late Assyrian

copy.

6-15. Late Assyrian fragments, not all from the same recension. Nos. 6-8 and

10-13 cover portions of Tablet I in the Old Babylonian recension. Nos. 10 and 11

appear to be parts of the same tablet, and the episode they cover duplicated or

restored by 8 and 12 also. Nos. 9 and 13 correspond to parts of Tablet I in their

obverse portions, and to Tablet II in their reverses. No. 15 covers part of Tablet

III in the Old Babylonian recension. No. 6 was translated by G. Smith in his

Chaldean Account of Genesis (1876), p. 156, but has been lost from sight ever

since. Part only of no. 13 (K 7816) was given in copy by K. D. Macmillanin

BA V 688. No. 14 was previously known from J. Laesspe's copy in JSS 5 (1960)

122, and no. 15 from the copies of P. Haupt (Nimrod-Epos p. 131), F. Delitzsch

(AL3 p. 101), and Th. G. Pinches (IV R 2, Additions, p. 9). A photograph of no. 15is given in E. Sollberger, The Babylonian Legend of the Flood (London, 1962)

P. 37.

Fuller details of these and other Atrabasis tablets will be given in the two

authors' forthcoming edition of the Epic.

16-35: The Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic

16, Large flake from the reverse of an Old Babylonian tablet. It corresponds to

Tablet X of the late recension, and may well be part of the Meissner Tablet

(VAT 4105 in MVAG VII 1-15). . 4i6y )le-ffil' c a6 91/

17-35. All these pieces, with the possible exception of nos. 28-29 whose attribu-

tion to this epic is not certain, belong to the late recension, and, apart from

nos. 29 and 33, which are Late Assyrian, all are Late Babylonian. Where prac-

tical, the indications of Tablet (within the series), column, and line are made to

conform with those found in R. Campbell Thompson, The Epic of Gilgamish.

('Wiseman' refers to the article by D. J. Wiseman in P. Garelli (ed.), Gilgames et

sa legende, Paris 1960.)

17. Fragment of Tablet I, drawn upon in Campbell Thompson's composite text,

but not hitherto published. Since the original deteriorated under wartime

storage, an old copy of Pinches, touched up from the original where preserved,

has been reproduced.

18-20. Other fragments of Tablet I. Campbell Thompson similarly drew on one of

the pieces making up no. 19, BM 34248, and Wiseman gave copies of nos. 18 and

20.

21-22. The obverse of 21 duplicates LKU 39 and no. 22 obv. The reverse of no. 21

has some lines corresponding with Campbell Thompson's Tablet V column II. The

reverse of no. 22 duplicates LKU 40. See Wiseman for a previous copy of no. 22.

23-26. Pieces of Tablet VII. Lines 2-3 of no. 23 correspond with STT I 14 rev.

10-11. Campbell Thompson's column III sets in at line 10. No. 24 confirms

B. Landsberger's arrangement of column IV as set out in WZKM 57 (1961) 8,

note 38. The left-hand column of no. 26 presumably represents the missing por-

tions of column II; the right-hand column is certainly column III.

27. This fragment of Tablet VIII restores and duplicates STT I 15 obv. 21-rev. 4.

Previously given by Wiseman.

28-29. Although 28 was given by P. Haupt, Nimrod-Epos p. 68, and R. Campbell

Thompson, op. cit., pl. 12 (the latter also citing the variants of no. 29), there is

no guarantee that these pieces really belong to this Epic.

30, 32, 33. Parts of Tablet X. Some pieces of the joins have been published pre-

viously: BM 34193 (from no. 30) by Campbell Thompson, and later by Wiseman,

together with BM 35413 and BM 35174+35628, which are now joined with three

other pieces as no. 30. Wiseman also gave a copy of BM 35546, which is now

joined to Rm 751 as no. 32. No. 33 is a piece joined to one published by

Campbell Thompson.

31. While almost certainly a piece of the Gilgamesh Epic, its position within the

epic is unknown.

34. A fragment of Tablet XII, previously given by Wiseman.

35. Tablet XI, first given by Haupt, Nimrod-Epos pp. 121-123, and cited (in some

cases less accurately) by Campbell Thompson in his apparatus. Laboratory treat-

ment and careful copying has resulted in fuller decipherment in the copy given

here.

(A new edition of the Babylonian Gilgamesh is being prepared by the copyist

of these pieces.)

36-42: Fragments of the Zu (or Anzu) Epic

36, The opening section of the epic, written on a tablet that contained some

other work in addition. A transliteration only was given by E. Reiner in RA 51

(1957) 107-108. Late Assyrian.

37. A Middle Assyrian fragment, corresponding to CT XV 39 II 29-46.

38. A piece from Ashurbanipal' s library, but in Babylonian script. A photograph

of the obverse only was given by E. Reiner in RA 48 (1954) 145-148, where the

parallel texts are given.

39. A Late Assyrian fragment joined to K 3454+3935 (CT XV 40) III bottom. See

E. Reiner, RA 48 (1954) 145-148, where a transliteration is given.

40. A Late Assyrian fragment, corresponding, in its obverse, to CT XV 39 II

38-43, and in its reverse to CT XV 40 III 76-90. First identified by E. Reiner,

who quotes readings from it in RA, loc. cit.

41. A Late Assyrian fragment, the obverse of which corresponds to LKA 1 II

13-22, and its reverse to idem 23-28.

42. A Late Assyrian fragment describing the final battle of the story, not dupli-

cated elsewhere.

aCoiosen, Slme 'h/3 Clwsy)43. A Late Babylonian tablet, copied from an 'original of Assur', containing an otherwise

unknown myth which involves several obscure deities.

44. An Old Babylonian fragment divided into sections, each addressed by a man to his

friend. The content of the words is not clear.

·50: Historiographical Texts

45. Part of a Late Babylonian tablet containing both prophecies and narrative,

of First Millennium origin. The text deals with the outcome of political and

personal events as expressions of divine justice. An edition is being prepared

by the copyist. -i , J- cP f ,t ta" I

46, A Late Assyrian duplicate of the birth legend of Sargon of Agade. Cf. CT

XIII 42, K 4470 II.

47. Probably part of the same tablet as no. 48.

48. Portion of a Late Babylonian tablet describing the events of Nabonidus's

reign, a literary text, not a chronicle. One of the joined pieces was given, minus

one line, by J. Strassmaier in Hebraica 9 (1892-93) 5.

49. Part of a Late Assyrian tablet containing a royal autobiography. Mention of

'the Cassite king' is the only indication of the period referred to.

50. Probably a fragment of the same tablet as no. 49.

51-55: Specimens of Babylonian speculation and erudition

51. A Late Assyrian tablet containing a list of shrines, the deity presiding at

each, and explanations of these. The reverse of K 2107+6086 bears a similar text

(for the obverse see L. W. King, STC II pl. LXI-LXII).

52. A Late Babylonian fragment of expository character. The preserved lines

include a list of Gula manifestations. Reference was made to this piece by

E. Weidner, AfO 19 (1959-60) 111.

53. A Late Assyrian duplicate of the Archive of Mystical Heptads. Other pieces

belonging to this text are KAR 142 and III R 69 no. 3.

54. A join to CT XXV 50, K 170. The final 'extract tablet' (nisbu) of the series

i.NAM gis.bur.an.ki.a. Late Assyrian, from the library of Nabu-zuqup-kena.

55. A Late Assyrian fragment giving the measurements of the universe. The

reverse has parts of four lines of an Ashurbanipal colophon d in the classification

of M. Streck, VAB VII 358.
