An Old Babylonian Version of the Gilgamesh Epic by Albert Tobias Clay, hand-bound in genuine leather by LeatheredLines. Published in 1920 by Morris Jastrow and Albert T. Clay, this scholarly edition presents an Old Babylonian tablet of the Epic of Gilgamesh, much older than the famous Assyrian version. It includes the cuneiform text, transliteration, translation and notes on the meeting of Gilgamesh and Enkidu. A valuable work for students of the ancient Near East.
About this leather-bound edition
We cover every book in genuine leather by hand, finishing the spine with gold-tone foil titling and decorative tooling in the tradition of fine library bindings. Because each copy is made individually, small variations in leather grain and colour are a natural sign of handwork.
The thickness and weight of the finished book depend on the length of this particular title. Longer works make a noticeably thicker volume, while shorter works are slimmer.
