While these texts may strike the modern reader as didactic, the Hittites, who categorized them together with state treaties, understood them as contracts or obligations, consisting of the king's instructions to officials such as priests and temple personnel, mayors, military officers, border garrison commanders, and palace servants. They detail how and in what spirit the officials are to carry out their duties and what consequences they are to suffer for failure. Also included are several examples of closely related oath impositions and oaths. Collecting for the first time the entire corpus of Hittite Instructions, this accessible volume presents these works in transliteration of the original texts and translation, with clear and readable introductory essays, references to primary and secondary sources, and thorough indices.Writings from the ancient world ;no. 31.HittitesRites and ceremoniesSourcesHittitesKings and rulersSourcesOathsMiddle EastHittite languageTextsInscriptions, HittiteHittitesRites and ceremoniesHittitesKings and rulersOathsHittite languageInscriptions, Hittite.939/.3Miller Jared L913180Giorgieri Mauro778084MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910962796503321Royal Hittite instructions and related administrative texts2045667UNINA
