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. This second
edition of Historical Dictionary of the Hittites contains a
chronology, an introduction, an appendix, and an extensive
bibliography. The dictionary section has over 400 cross-referenced
entries on mportant persons, places, essential institutions, and
the significant aspects of the society, government, economy,
material culture, and warfare. This book is an excellent resource
for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about
the Hittites.
