The first comprehensive overview of the development of literacy, script usage, and literature in Hittite Anatolia (1650-1200 BC).
The Hittites created one of the great civilizations of the ancient world, although it remained almost unknown until excavations in the early 20th century revealed the extent and importance of its culture. For nearly five centuries the Hittites controlled vast areas of Anatolia, by direct or indirect rule, engaging in almost incessant warfare, and, at the same time, making significant contributions to culture and religion of the region. This second edition of Historical Dictionary of the Hittites contains a chronology, an introduction, an appendix, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 400 cross-referenced entries on mportant persons, places, essential institutions, and the significant aspects of the society, government, economy, material culture, and warfare. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Hittites.

Contracts and other legal texts excavated at Kültepe attest to Assyrian and Anatolian women as parties in marriage and divorce contracts, last wills, loans, and purchas...

Yahudiler dindarlık hamuru içinde şekillenmiş olmasına rağmen yaşama rasyonel açıdan bakan bir kültürün ürünüdür. Yahudiler tek tanrılı dinlere, dünyanın ekonomik işleyiş düzenine, kendi dışındaki kültürlere oldukça büyük katkıda bulunmuşlardır. Aşırı dindarlık ölçüleri içinde bile dünya yaşamlarındaki mücadelede rasyonel olmayı becerebilmişlerdir. Yahudiliği anlamak bir ölçüde Ortadoğu medeniyetini, Hristiyanlığı, İslamı anlamak demektir.Yahudi tarihi, kültürü, dini, dünya görüşünü bilmeden ne ekonomi tarihini ...
