Redressing this imbalance, the present volume by an international team of scholars offers a comprehensive, state-of-the-art appraisal of the Luwians, the first of its kind in English. A brief introduction sets the context and confronts the problem of defining 'the Luwians'. Following chapters describe their prehistory, history, writing and language, religion, and material culture. 410 0$aHandbuch der Orientalistik.$nErste Abteilung,$pNahe und der Mittlere Osten ;$v68.
