商品簡介
Weeden has revised his 2007 PhD dissertation at the University of London, which examines how the Hittites used logograms, that is, signs for words--as opposed to signs for syllables--that had been imported with the cuneiform script from Mesopotamia, as a way to illuminate Hittite school practices and their heritage. Most of the work is devoted to details of about 100 selected logograms and a full catalogue of logograms. Other topics include questions of influence, previous ideas about the logogram in Hittite cuneiform, Hittite paleography, the oldest Hittite cuneiform writing, the Syria hypothesis and Alala VII, scribal environments, and lexical lists at Hattusa.
