Studies in Hittite Economic Administration

Viac o knihe

The Hittite Palace-Temple Administrative Corpus offers a comprehensive look at the economic-administrative documents from the Hittite capital, Hattusa, revealing a unique focus on durable goods rather than staple products. With nearly double the texts available since the last edition, this work explores the corpus's role in linking local agricultural systems through elite influence. It includes detailed editing, analysis, and commentary, alongside an analytical glossary. A case study and evaluation of the Hittite votive corpus from an economic perspective highlight the significance of diplomatic income in religious expenditures.
