In 1944 Ananda Coomaraswamy published an essay on the parallels between the plot of Sir Gawain and
the Green Knight, a Medieval English poem that forms part of the cycle of The Knights of the Round Table,
and the mythological Hindu tale on the fight between the god Indra and Namuci. By means of this essay
Coomaraswamy expounded his manifesto of Philosophia perennis, and referred to many mythologies of
other cultures to illustrate the metaphysical theme of the One and the Many, the creation of Time and Space,
and the Reintegration into the One.
At that time the Sumerian poem Lugal-e ud melambi nirĝal was not well known. Now it is not only possible
to integrate the documentation Coomaraswamy put forward with this poem and other Mesopotamian myths,
but also to include Mesopotamian religious thought in the general pattern he outlined Nel 1944 Ananda Coomaraswamy pubblicò un saggio sui paralleli tra la trama del poema inglese medievale
Sir Gawain e il Cavaliere Verde, che fa parte del ciclo dei Cavalieri della tavola Rotonda, e il mito indiano
sullo scontro tra il dio Indra e Namuci. Con questo saggio Coomaraswamy rese pubblico il suo manifesto
di Philosophia perennis, e riferì su molte mitologie di altre culture, per illustrare il tema metafisico dell'Uno
e del Molteplice, la creazione di Tempo e Spazio e la Reintegrazione nell'Uno.
A quel tempo, il poema sumerico Lugal-e ud melambi nirĝal non era ben conosciuto. Ora non solo è possibile
integrare la documentazione addotta da Coomaraswamy con questo poema ed altri miti mesopotamici, ma
anche includere il pensiero religioso mesopotamico nello schema generale che egli delineò
