Discovered Fragments Prob. surce of Biblical Story. London, July 16---Dr. Langdon, the { Assyriologist of , Jesus College, Ox ford, who recently translated import- ant early Babylonian tablets fqund at Nippun and now in the library of the university of Pennsylvania, re- covering thereby a pre-Semitic ac- count of the Deluge and of the Fall of Man; which In many ways seemed to be the source of that in the Old Testanient, made a further .interst- ing statement regarding the hind. "Since I announced the transiation of the fragment, which I copied gt Philadelphia last autumn," he said, "the university authorities have found two large fragments which join the original fragments. I have photographs of these, and is it very evident that the tablet is now com- pleted and contains a complete pre- Semitic version of the Flood and also of the Temptation." . "In the fragment which I had at first, that portion of the story of the Temptation, was broken away, and Eve, or the woman, did not appear, but from the remainder of niy: ori- ginal fragment, I must infer ihat it is possible that a woman was con- cerned in the Temptation and in eal- ing the forbidden fruit as well, an that almost certainly a serpent fig' ured in the Temptation. Consequently we shall soon have in our hands the most ancient ver- |sion from shich the entire Biblical account came. It will take some Newly able | considerable time to do the work of translation, and it is possible that the photographs which 1 have will be madequate, and that I shall be com- pelledl to send to America for cer- tain signs.
