"This elegantly written work is a basic resource for the full understanding of early Mesopotamia. It includes translations of the Cylinders of Gudea and other poems that have been accessible only in outdated versions."—Daniel Snell, author of Life in the Ancient Near East, 3100-322 B.C.E.

"This work is special, and should be found in the home of all humane and literate persons. It gives access to the mind of ancient Mesopotamia in a manner rarely duplicated heretofore. . . . Jacobsen has chosen widely from Sumer's rich literature—myth, epics, hymns, boasts, epithalamia, love songs, lamentations, fables—and had presented us with perspective renderings, uncluttered by scholarly paraphernalia."—Jack M. Sasson, Religious Studies Review
