The Evolution of the Gilgamesh Epic

by Jeffrey H. Tigay

A classic study of how the Gilgamesh epic developed from separate Sumerian poems through the Old Babylonian version to the Standard Babylonian text. Tigay uses the case to show how ancient Near Eastern literature was revised over time, with implications for the study of the Bible.
