The Purity of Kingship: An Edition of <i>CHT 569</i> and Related Hittite Oracle Inquiries of Tuth̬aliya IV: Documenta et Monumenta Orientis Antiqui, cartea 25
Autor Theo van den Houten Limba Engleză Hardback – 23 iun 1998
The King conducts an extensive series of oracle inquiries in order to find ways to reconcile the (for the most part deceased) family members and to render their curses ineffective. The texts of these inquiries shed light on daily life in the Hittite empire, and, in this case, daily life of the King of the Hittites.
The reconstruction of these oracle inquiries forms the subject of the underlying volume. The author offers not only a full edition of the texts (now first brought together), but also introductory chapters on topics of wider importance such as text constitution, techniques for recording oracles, and the persons involved and historical setting of the composite text.
