This page groups scripture texts by the person or scribal tradition credited with compiling them, when one can actually be named. Wikipedia notes that "the Epic of Gilgamesh from Sumer, although only considered by some scholars as a religious text, has origins as early as 2150 BCE," one of the oldest works whose specific compiler is unknown. Browsing this way lets a visitor tell a text with a named human author apart from one credited only to an anonymous tradition.
