Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Influence of the Egyptian and the Babylonian Wisdom Literatures Upon the Hebrew Wisdom Literature: Thesis
We have often heard it said that nations are like individuals and that that nation develops most that borro most. The most original of peoples appropriate most, drinkincr deeply from the common heritage of mankind.1 We can have patience with those individuals and with those nations which take the best of that which they borrow and so thoroughly assimilate it that the stamp of the original source is blotted out. To accomplish such a thing requires skill and time, but the name of plagiarist and copy-cat are not just in such a case.
