Sin-liqe-unninni
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sin-liqe-unninni was a scribe who lived in Babylonia between 1300 BC and 1000 BC. He is the compiler of the best preserved version of the Epic of Gilgamesh. His name is listed in the text itself, which is unusual for ancient works. His version is known by its incipit, or first line, "He who saw the deep." It remains unknown how significant is the difference between his version and the texts he was working from. The only time when Sin-liqe-unninni narrates the story in first person is in the prologue.
