Description and Table of Contents

Description

Hittite prayers were at first heavily influenced by Babylonian and Hurrian prototypes, but soon developed their own creative style, highly emotional and rich in metaphors. The twenty-four prayers assembled in the volume cover the entire span of Hittite literary history. Paperback edition is available from the Society of Biblical Literature (www.sbl-site.org).
