Currently reading the Dead Sea scrolls and learning about the "gnomic" sapiential tradition criss-crossing Egypt and the Levant, and mingling with Hellenistic influences. Planning to read pic related next, has anyone on /lit/ read it?

I also want to read Nag Hammadi next. Does anyone have recommendations for earlier gnomic traditions, pre-Greek? In the Torah there seem to be references to "lodges" of prophets, particularly around the Elijah and Elisha stories. Could this be memories of a much older hermetic tradition?
