The Book of Urizen is one of the major prophetic books of the English writer William Blake, illustrated by Blake's own plates. It was originally published as The First Book of Urizen in 1794. Later editions dropped the "First". The book takes its name from the character Urizen in Blake's mythology, who represents alienated reason as the source of oppression. The book describes Urizen as the "primeaval priest" and narrates how he became separated from the other Eternals to create his own alienated and enslaving realm of religious dogma. Los and Enitharmon create a space within Urizen's fallen universe to give birth to their son Orc, the spirit of revolution and freedom.

  • The Book of Urizen (El llibre d'Urizen) és un dels anomenats "llibres profètics" de William Blake. Il·lustrat amb les seues pròpies planxes de gravats al burí, es publicà primerament com The First Book of Urizen (El primer llibre d'Urizen) al 1794, i aquest títol es modificà en les edicions posteriors. Considerat en molts aspectes, en format com en contingut, una versió heterodoxa del Gènesi, en aquest poema, Blake explora els temes fonamentals de l'epistemologia i l'ontologia, i Urizen és la personificació de la saviesa convencional i la llei.

  • The Book of Urizen (euskaraz: «Urizen-en liburua») William Blake-ren deiturikoetako bat da. Bere plantxekin ilustratua, jatorriz The First Book of Urizen (euskaraz: «Urizen-en lehenengo liburua») izenarekin argitaratu zen 1794an, nahiz eta izenburu hori ondorengo edizioetarako aldatu zen. Alderdi askotan, formatuan zein edukian, Hasieraren bertsio heterodoxoa dela kontuan hartuta, poema honen bidez, Blake-k epistemologiaren eta ontologiaren oinarrizko gaiak aztertzen ditu, izanik gorpuztearen pertsonifikazioa eta legea.
