Luwian and the closely related Hittite are the oldest known
languages of the Indo-European group. Luwian is written in two
scripts: Cuneiform and its own Hieroglyphic, which survives mostly
on stone monuments collected from Turkey and Syria. The texts fall
into two main groups, those of the Hittite Empire (c. 1400–1200
B.C.), and those of the Iron Age (c. 1000–700 B.C.),with a
transitional period (c. 1200–1000 B.C.). One of the editor’s
principal research efforts has been the establishment of reliable
texts presented in facsimile copies and photographs. His
Inscriptions of the Iron Age were published as Vol. I in 2000, and
the great Luwian-Phoenician Bilingual in collaboration with Halet
Çambel as Vol. II in 1999. Vol. III will present the Inscriptions
of the Hittite Empire along with the newly discovered Iron Age
inscriptions, thus completing the whole corpus. It will then make
available to the scholarly world the Luwian language in its
Hieroglyphic manifestation, which will be of importance to
philologists and ancient historians alike.
