520 This anthology brought together the most important
historical, legal, mythological, liturgical, and secular
texts of the ancient Near East, with the purpose of
providing a rich contextual base for understanding the
people, cultures, and literature of the Old Testament. A
scholar of religious thought and biblical archaeology,
James Pritchard recruited the foremost linguists,
historians, and archaeologists to select and translate the
texts. The goal, in his words, was "a better understanding
of the likenesses and differences which existed between
Israel and the surrounding cultures." Before the
publication of these volumes, students of the Old
Testament found themselves having to search out scattered
books and journals in various languages. This anthology
brought these invaluable documents together, in one place
and in one language, thereby expanding the meaning and
significance of the Bible for generations of students and
readers. As one reviewer put it, "This great volume is one
of the most notable to have appeared in the field of Old
Testament scholarship this century." Princeton published a
follow-up companion volume, The Ancient Near East in
Pictures Relating to the Old Testament (1954), and later a
one-volume abridgment of the two, The Ancient Near East:
An Anthology of Texts and Pictures (1958). The continued
popularity of this work in its various forms demonstrates
that anthologies have a very important role to play in
education--and in the mission of a university press.
