Why did the Anatolians remain illiterate for so long, although
surrounded by people using script? Why and how did they eventually
adopt the cuneiform writing system and why did they still invent a
second, hieroglyphic script of their own? What did and didn't they
write down and what role did Hittite literature, the oldest known
literature in any Indo-European language, play? These and many
other questions on scribal culture are addressed in this first,
comprehensive book on writing, reading, script usage, and literacy
in the Hittite kingdom (c.1650-1200 BC). It describes the rise and
fall of literacy and literature in Hittite Anatolia in the wider
context of its political, economic, and intellectual history.
