The Seven Tablets of Creation: Enuma Elish Complete
A**R
One of the oldest myths
The Enuma Elsh was allready classical 500 years before Homeros and formed the base of thinking in the Middle East since then.I used this Kindle book when writing an article for a philosophical magazine for Dutch readers, so I had to translate the verses and was amazed how up to date their message was.

Don't get this exact edition.
iLife publishes this. Hasty reprint. The table of contents are in the wrong order, and/or the entire book is in the wrong order... and THERE ARE NO PAGE NUMBERS. It says there should be 100 more pages than there is. The letter "Y" is often a "v." I do my best to avoid these cheap "reprints," but this one got me. Not sure if i can return this, with this many mistakes and errors, what's the point of reading a historical translation book?

Poor version of an important text
I downloaded this version of the Enuma Elish on my Kindle. There is not introductory of explanatory matieral, as in other versions, and the text is poorly formatted.

Still working; comparing to scholastically sound alternative sources
The more remote documents of antiquity are difficult at best, and rational comparisons involve comparing translations, the sense of which, depend upon understanding the culture and therefore customs from which the meanings of linguistic expressions are obtained. This will take time. I will save this and add comment regarding scholastic conclusions after study.The Watchman...

Factual
More of a technical book than an "easy read." The author certainly has all his facts together, and I recommend it for anyone who's more interested in "facts" than just an easy read.
