Description

Explore the origins of writing in the Hittite kingdom with this comprehensive study from Cambridge University Press. Covering the period from 1650 to 1200 BC, this book investigates why the Anatolians adopted the cuneiform writing system and why they later developed their own unique hieroglyphic script. Readers will gain a deep understanding of scribal culture and the development of literacy in Late Bronze-Age Anatolia. The text examines what was recorded in written form and the significance of Hittite literature, which stands as the oldest known literature in any Indo-European language. This work provides answers to fundamental questions about how script usage evolved in a region surrounded by other literate civilizations. It is an essential resource for those interested in ancient history, linguistics, and the evolution of human communication.
