Burney is recognised as the great musical writer of his day. This
is a facsimile reprint of the first edition in 1771.
The Hittites created one of the great civilizations of the ancient
world, although it remained almost unknown until excavations in the
early 20th century revealed the extent and importance of its
culture. For nearly five centuries the Hittites controlled vast
areas of Anatolia, by direct or indirect rule, engaging in almost
incessant warfare, and, at the same time, making significant
contributions to culture and religion of the region. The A to Z of
the Hittites covers Hittite civilization from its origins through
hundreds of entries on important persons, places, essential
institutions, and the significant aspects of the society, Kingship,
government, economy, material culture, and warfare of this ancient
people. A 16-page photospread, introductory essay, chronology, and
bibliography complement the dictionary entries. Scholars, students,
and general readers who are interested in ancient history will find
this a valuable reference work about the Hittites and about the
rediscovery of the Hittites.
This is a facsimile reprint of the 1773 edition. Originally in two
volumes but now bound as one. There is a small bibliography
provided by the publisher.
