Book Synopsis State Correspondence in the Ancient World by : Karen Radner
Download or read book State Correspondence in the Ancient World written by Karen Radner and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2014 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection's central thesis is straightforward: long-distance communication plays a key role in the cohesion and stability of early states and in turn, these states invest heavily in long-term communication strategies and networks. As reliable and fast long-distance communication facilitates the successful delegation of power from the centre to the local administrations, the creation and maintenance of the necessary infrastructure to support this is a key strategy of the central state.

Book Synopsis New approaches on Anatolian linguistics by : José Virgilio García Trabazo
Download or read book New approaches on Anatolian linguistics written by José Virgilio García Trabazo and published by Edicions Universitat Barcelona. This book was released on 2023-07-24 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together the culmination of philological and linguistic work undertaken by a wide range of experts in the Anatolian languages. The research papers published here cover practically the entire linguistic and chronological spectrum of the Anatolian group of Indo-European languages, without neglecting important interactions with languages from other cultural environments, among which the Semitic group stands out. The publication can therefore be regarded as a valuable contribution to Anatolian and Indo-European studies, reflecting the persistant and sustained efforts of a group of researchers with a broad array of interests, some of whom have many years of research behind them and are well known in the field. They have now been joined by new scholars, who enable us to foresee a promising future for our disciplines.
Book Synopsis The Elements of Hittite by : Theo van den Hout
Download or read book The Elements of Hittite written by Theo van den Hout and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hittite is the earliest attested Indo-European language and was the language of a state which flourished in Asia Minor in the second millennium BC. This exciting and accessible introductory course, which can be used in both trimester and semester systems, offers in ten lessons a comprehensive introduction to the grammar of the Hittite language with ample exercises both in transliteration and in cuneiform. It includes a separate section of paradigms, a grammatical index, as well as a list of every cuneiform sign used in the book. A full glossary can be found at the back. The book has been designed so that the cuneiform is not essential and can be left out of any course if so desired. The introduction provides the necessary cultural and historical background, with suggestions for further reading, and explains the principles of the cuneiform writing system.
Book Synopsis Das Ritual der Aštu (CTH 490) by : Susanne Görke
Download or read book Das Ritual der Aštu (CTH 490) written by Susanne Görke and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2009-11-23 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ritual of Aštu, a text found at the Hittite Capital of Hattuša, shows strong influence from southern Anatolia and describes a Hurrian-Hittite ritual against witchcraft and sorcery. The following study provides detailed philological treatment of the 13th-century fragments found at Hattuša, from which the ritual is known, including transcription, translation, and commentary of all manuscripts, as well as special emphasis on the Hurrian passages of the ritual. Reconstruction of the more fragmentary sections is undertaken through comparison to other rituals. The study concludes with an analysis of Anatolian, Luwian, and Kizzuwatnaian influences evident in the ritual, and affords, in sum, valuable additions to the study of the nature of Hittite archives, and the development of ritual texts. “I firmly believe that works like this are essential to creating the dialogue that is necessary for the progress of our understanding of Hurrian. Görke’s treatment of the various texts and her discussions of many aspects of the ritual will prove very useful to scholars working on Hurro-Hittite religion.” Dennis R.M. Campbell, San Francisco State University

Book Synopsis The Hittite Middle Voice by : Guglielmo Inglese
Download or read book The Hittite Middle Voice written by Guglielmo Inglese and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-07-13 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prize winner: Eugenio Coseriu Award (2021) This book offers a new treatment of the middle voice in Hittite. The book features two main parts. In the first part, the author provides an updated synchronic description of the Hittite middle based on the existing typology of voice systems and valency changing operations. Moreover, based on a careful analysis of a chronologically ordered corpus of original Hittite texts, the book offers the first ever diachronic account of the Hittite middle. As Inglese argues, the findings of this book greatly enrich our general knowledge of the diachronic typology of middle voice systems. The second part of the book features a thorough description of more than 100 Hittite verbs in original texts.

Book Synopsis Officials and Administration in the Hittite World by : Tayfun Bilgin
Download or read book Officials and Administration in the Hittite World written by Tayfun Bilgin and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2018-12-03 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are few studies that deal with an overall treatment of the Hittite administrative system, and various other works on its offices and officials have tended to be limited in scope, focusing only on certain groups or certain time periods. This book provides a comprehensive investigation of the administrative organization of the Hittite state throughout its history (ca. 1650–1180 BCE) with particular emphasis on the state offices and their officials. Bringing together previous works and updating with data recovered in recent years, the study presents a detailed survey of the high offices of the state, a prosopographical study of about 140 high officials, and a theoretical analysis of the Hittite administration in respect to factors such as hierarchy, kinship, and diachronical changes.
