    Any evidence of a name to credit for this work?

    It’s pretty clear that the author was a member of the priestly caste, but beyond that we can’t identify a particular person.

    We can’t even say for certain that there was just one author; some variations in style in different parts of the epic lead many scholars to speculate that there’s more than one set of authorial “fingerprints” on the work.
