Written by Trevor Bryce, one of the world’s leading experts on the Hittites, this book charts the rise and fall of a warrior people famed for their ferocity, who built an empire which stretched from Mesopotamia to Syria and Palestine. Regarded as barbarians by the Egyptians, for a hundred years the Hittites fought a draining war against the Egyptians - the climax of which saw the Hittites defeated and their 400-year-old empire destroyed at Qadesh.Thought to have invented iron, used to forge their weapons, and known for pioneering a revolutionary three-man chariot system, Bryce details th

The "disconnects" between Hittite and the other early Indo-European languages have been extensively explored, and scholars have realized that the conventional picture of the parent language must be modified to account for the facts of Hittite. Jay Jasanoff proposes the most thorough and systematic resolution of the problem yet published, putting forth a revolutionary model of the Proto-Indo-European verbal system.

Although Hittitologists have devoted a number of important studies to syntax, they have usually shown little if any interest in the possible implications of their research for linguistic theory, and have made little use of theoretical tools in their description. Moreover, Hittite syntax deserves more attention from general linguists, especially typologists, than it has received until now. The purpose of this book is to bridge the gap that has developed between general studies on syntax on the one hand, and philological studies on Hittite grammar on the other. The book is divided into a first p

Prayers are among the most personal and imaginative among Hittite texts. Rich in metaphors and similes, they provide the best insight into Hittite contemplative thinking and philosophy of life. In the face of grave illness, the death of a loved one, or an impending military catastrophe, those in crisis disregard the conventional rules of prudent phrasing and cry out from the bottom of their hearts for deliverance and for a better comprehension of their world.
