Gilgamesh in Logos
Hi.
I would like to know if there are more translations of the Gilgamesh Epic on Logos, apart from the ones found on ANET and COS.
Meanwhile... Would you recommend me any other narrative poems or epics on Logos?

Old Testament Parallels, 4th Edition: Laws and Stories from the Ancient Near East is primarily oriented to just OT parallels.
But '... any other narrative poems or epics ... ' is a pretty broad swath!
Unrelated, Charles' Index on Apocrypha/Pseudepigrapha lists Gilgamesh as quoted by Sirach. I couldn't place the quote.

Hidden Riches: A Sourcebook for the Comparative Study of the Hebrew Bible and Ancient Near East has an excerpt (Gilgamesh XI), translated by Andrew George.

I found this version from a certain Herbert Mason: Gilgamesh: A Verse Narrative Faithlife Ebooks Has anyone read it? (I bought it).
...and confirmed what Kenton Sparks said in his annotated bibliography: COS has only some parts of Gilgamesh.
«COS 1.132: 458–60; 1.171: 550–52 (partial)»
Kenton L. Sparks, Ancient Texts for the Study of the Hebrew Bible: A Guide to the Background Literature (Peabody, MA: Hendrickson Publishers, 2005), 278.
I know this may be broad, but yeah, feel free to recommend my next reading on Logos based on what I'm currently reading. [:D]
Thank you, Rosie and DMB, for your kind and generous remarks. [*]
Indeed, Charles parallel to Sirach is found in Volume 1, Page 270.
Robert Henry Charles, ed., Apocrypha of the Old Testament (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1913).
And, oh yeah... [:O] Tablet XI is the famous Deluge Tablet, considered a parallel to Noah's Story, so, it makes sense both COS and Hidden Riches focus on it.

Books Search idea is: (heading:Gilgamesh OR largetext:Gilgamesh) NEAR epic

Thank you, Smile. [:D]
Fellows... I wonder, what does "largetext" stand for? [8-|] ?
*And yeah, although "heading" might seem pretty obvious, I would benefit from some clarification... [:P]
**What would be the range of a NEAR search? [:)]

Large text = headings
I believe near is within a paragraph. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

?Some resources have larger text (font size) for Chapter Headings & Journal Articles while the resource paragraph does not have a Heading style.
Books Search heading:Gilgamesh NEAR epic finds 185 results in 61 resources (in my purchased Logos library).
Books Search largetext:Gilgamesh NEAR epic finds 122 results in 34 resources.
Books Search (heading:Gilgamesh OR largetext:Gilgamesh) NEAR epic finds 268 results in 71 resources, which is 10 more resources than heading search.
**What would be the range of a NEAR search?
Books Search (heading:Gilgamesh OR largetext:Gilgamesh) WITHIN 8 WORDS epic finds 264 results in 70 resources.
Books Search (heading:Gilgamesh OR largetext:Gilgamesh) WITHIN 9 WORDS epic finds 272 results in 71 resources, which is 4 more results than NEAR.
Keep Smiling [:)]

If you use the search function, look also for spellings like "Gilgameš"
If you read german, look at TUAT: https://www.logos.com/product/186431/texte-aus-der-umwelt-des-alten-testaments-alte-und-neue-folge1
