Book Synopsis The World's Oldest Literature by : William W. Hallo
Download or read book The World's Oldest Literature written by William W. Hallo and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2010 with total page 801 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Literature begins at Sumer, we may say. Given that this ancient crossroads of tin and copper produced not only bronze and the entire Bronze Age, but also by neccesity, the first system of record-keeping and the technique of writing. Scribal schools served to propogate the new technique and their curriculum grew to create, preserve and transmit all manner of creative poetry. In a lifetime of research, the author has studied multiple aspects of this most ancient literary oeuvre, including such questions as chronology and bilingualism, as well as contributing fundamental insights into specific genres such as proverbs, letter-prayers and lamentations. In addition, he has drawn conclusions for the comparative or contextual approach to biblical literature. His studies, widely scattered in diverse publications for nearly fifty years, are here assembled in convenient one-volume format, made more user-friendly by extensive cross-references and indices.

Book excerpt: To propogate the invention of writing, the Sumerians established scribal schools which preserved and transmitted the accumulated wisdom of the past, usually in poetic form.

Book Synopsis The Oldest Book in the World by : Bill Manley
Download or read book The Oldest Book in the World written by Bill Manley and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 2023-06-09 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Teaching of Ptahhatp, composed two millennia before the birth of Plato, is the oldest surviving statement of philosophy in the ancient world and the earliest witness to the power of the written word. It ought to begin the list of the worlds philosophy classics, yet it has been largely forgotten since it was rediscovered in the nineteenth century. Egyptologist Bill Manleys new translation corrects this oversight, rendering into approachable modern English for the first time Ptahhatps profound yet practical account of the meaning of life, written many centuries before the supposed dawn of western philosophy. Manley introduces Ptahhatp, who served as Vizier to the Old Kingdom pharaoh Izezi (c. 24102375 BC), and the world of dynamic ideas and new technologies writing among them within which he worked, illuminating the nuances of his language and philosophy. In addition, Manleys new translation of Why Things Happen, the oldest surviving account of creation from anywhere in the world, reveals how Ptahhatps account of the human condition is founded in distinctive ancient Egyptian beliefs about the nature of truth and reality. Taken together, Manleys new translations and expert commentary provide a new perspective on the Pyramid Age and overturn traditional prejudices about the origins of writing and philosophy. The oldest book in the world is a testament to a common thread that connects humanity across time; Ptahhatp grapples with the pitfalls of greed, ambition, celebrity, success, confrontation, friendship, sex and even the office environment, and his teachings remain remarkably relevant in the modern day.
